Book description
The fifth DI Charlie Resnick novel, from the master of British
crime writing.
A series of brutal robberies takes Detective Inspector Charlie
Resnick back ten years.
To a time when a rash of very similar incidents left him face to
face with a frenzied sociopath who nearly brought his life to a
premature end - and to a time when his wife ran off with her lover,
putting paid to their marriage and leaving him with a psychic wound
that still hasn't healed.
Now with the look-alike robberies escalating in violence, Resnick
fights to track the men down before they kill, just as he fights to
stem the poignant memories that threaten to overwhelm him.

novels, the first of which, Lonely Hearts, was named by The
