Publisher's Synopsis
"Harvey's seventh procedural is smartly paced, slyly humorous, unsentimental about police work, violence, and other alienations of aff ection-altogether one of his best. Just like his first six."-Kirkus Reviews
"John Harvey's Resnick novels are far and away the finest British police procedurals yet written."-GQ
"If Harvey gets any better, the rest of us may have to kill him."-Reginald Hill
Resnick's hands are full enough tracking down the prostitute who is stabbing her clients, without having to babysit a strong-mouthed American crime writer, visiting the city with her husband and prey to threats of violence.
