Product Description

Two small-time crooks break into TV director Harold Roy’s shabby mansion and stumble across a kilo of cocaine and Harold’s wife, who proceeds to fall in love with one of the crooks. Now she is going to make a deal to save both her husband and the drugs, but the precious powder belongs to someone else and he wants it back. Inspector Resnick has a hunch that there’s more to this story than meets the eye and his investigations lead him down the mean streets of the TV industry and an inner city drugs ring.


Ingram

A series of house break-ins that are too neat to be anything but inside jobs; a missing kilo of coke; a thief with some very nasty habits and another with too tender a heart . . . all add up to John Harvey's second complex and fast-paced police procedural featuring Charlie Resnick. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Diverting, but not the best of its kind, Aoû 10 2001
Par Stan Vernooy (Henderson, NV) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rough Treatment (Paperback)
This is a "police procedural", somewhat reminiscent of McBain's 87th Precinct books with a British flavor (or should I say flavour?). Unusually for a crime novel, there is no murder. The crimes are burglary and drug dealing. One of the burglars is a strikingly unusual crook who enjoys bird watching, seduces (maybe even falls for) one of his female victims, and saves the life of another of his victims who suffers a heart attack when he discovers the burglars in his home.

There is no real "mystery" here, since the activities of the criminals are described side-by-side along with the attempts of the police to find and arrest them. There are the usual side issues involving the personal lives of the police officers on the squad, and Harvey does a good job with that.

The one thing I found annoying about this novel is Harvey's penchant for giving us a conversation in which the participants speak indirectly and the reader can't figure out what they're talking about. Harvey isn't the only writer who does this, of course, but I have always found the practice to be smug and aggravating. There is an undertone of "If you were really paying attention, pal, you'd know exactly what they're talking about." I can do without the attitude, Mr. Harvey.

Otherwise the book is a completely professionally produced crime novel: pleasant for those who enjoy the genre, but unmemorable.

4.0étoiles sur 5 No sophomore jinx here, Janv. 11 2000
Par Un client
This review is from: Rough Treatment (Paperback)
Every bit as tightly woven as any in this marvelous series; it is more of a character study than the others. Master thief Jerry Grabianski is as finely wrought as his protagonist, DI Charlie Resnick. Less blood, more subtlety.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Sophomore Slump, Aoû 25 1999
Par A. Ross (Washington, DC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rough Treatment (Paperback)
The sequel to Lonely Hearts holds true to the curse of the "sophomore slump." After the crispness of the first book, something isn't quite as fresh here. Part of it may be that the criminals being pursued by the hero, Charlie Resnick, are burglars and mid-range drug dealers, instead of the serial killer of the previous book. What still holds one's attention, however, are the side stories in which the off-duty lives of the various police officers are given some play. Most interesting is the unflappable Super's paternal woes. Don't worry, the series picks up after this one.
