Living Proof (a Resnick Novel)

ISBN: 9780099421580
Author: John Harvey
Description:
When a man is found in the middle of Alfreton Road in the early hours of a Sunday morning, stark naked and bleeding heavily from a chest wound, he is the latest victim in a series of vicious attacks on men. But enquiries in the mean streets of Nottingham's red-light district have brought the investigations to a dead end. Charlie Resnick is the man for the job. And as if he hasn't had enough to deal with, he now has to provide police protection for a celebrity at the annual crime convention - an author with the some very unpleasant 'fan' mail. Chronically short-staffed as he is, it's a guessing game as to when Resnick's lack of manpower will have fatal consequences... About the Author JOHN HARVEY is the author of the richly praised sequence of ten 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'. In 2004 William Heinemann published Flesh and Blood, the first novel featuring retired Detective Inspector Frank Elder which won the CWA Silver Dagger in 2004. He is also a poet, dramatist and occasional broadcaster.
