Book description
The second DI Charlie Resnick novel, from the master of British
crime writing.
A kilo of cocaine. Hardly what two small-time crooks were expecting
to find when they broke into TV director Harold Roy's shabby mansion.
But nor was Harold's frustrated wife expecting to fall in love with
one of the intruders. Now she's going to make a deal with him - for
both her husband and the drugs.
But the precious powder belongs to someone else. And he wants it
back. So if he feels he's been double-crossed, there's no telling what
might happen.
Detective Inspector Resnick has a hunch that there's more to this
story than meets the eye. And as his investigations lead him down the
mean streets of the TV industry and an inner city drugs ring, it's
obvious that more than one person is dancing on thin ice.
John Harvey is the author of the richly praised Charlie Resnick
novels, the first of which, Lonely Hearts, was named by The
Times as one of the '100 Best Crime Novels of the Century'. His
first novel featuring Frank Elder, Flesh and Blood, won the CWA
Silver Dagger in 2004, and a Barry Award for the Best British Crime
Novel published in the US in 2004. In 2007 John Harvey was awarded the
CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger and in 2009 he was awarded an honorary
degree, Doctor of Letters, by the University of Nottingham.
