Cold in Hand (The Charlie Resnick Novels #11)

Synopsis

&“A welcome return for Nottingham Inspector Charlie Resnick, who&’s been absent from novel-length crime-fighting since Last Rites.&”—Kirkus Reviews It&’s Valentine&’s Day, and a dispute between rival gangs leaves a teenage girl dead. Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick, nearing retirement, is hauled back to the front line to help deal with the fallout. But when the dead girl&’s father seeks to lay the blame on Resnick&’s partner, DI Lynn Kellogg, Resnick finds the line between the personal and the professional dangerously blurred. Meanwhile, the Serious and Organized Crime Agency starts to show a keen interest in one of Kellogg&’s murder cases—a case the agency is convinced is linked to international gun running and people trafficking. Soon Kellogg is drawn into a web of deceit and betrayal that puts both her and Resnick in mortal danger. In Cold in Hand, John Harvey brings back &“one of the most fully realized characters in modern crime fiction&” in another heart-stopping procedural (Sue Grafton). &“The book is quite possibly Harvey&’s most authoritative in years: visceral, engaged and, yes, unputdownable.&”—Independent &“It&’s impossible not to greet the return of Resnick in this eleventh, coda-like, deeply melancholy novel with anything but celebration.&”—Booklist (starred review) &“Impassioned, at times heartbreaking . . . [Cold in Hand] confirms Harvey as one of our most accomplished writers in any genre.&”—Sunday Telegraph
