From the killing fields of the East Midlands to the mean streets of London, from the Jazz clubs and clip joints of world of broken families and run-down estates, revenge killings and prostitution, drugs, guns and corruption; a world of overstreched police forces and underpaid detectives, men and women who strive nonetheless for a kind of justice; a world in wich everything, even friendship, has a price. Featuring characters like Frank Elder, who tried to turn his back on police work and failed; Jack Kiley, ex-copper and one-time professional footballer, now a London-based PI; and the renowned Jazz-loving and much-loved Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick, John Harvey's finely crafted vignettes perfectly encapsulate life in the badlands of modern Britain.
