Product Description

Product Description

Lorraine Preston's brother, Michael, was sent down for life for the murder of their father - and now he's being allowed out for their mother's funeral. A hardened criminal, Michael Preston is the last person Resnick wants back on his patch, even is it's only for a matter of hours. Heartsore and world-weary, Resnick is struggling to contain an explosive situation on the streets, where the spread of guns has led to a frightening escalation in drug-related crime. The local force, meanwhile, is riven by internal rivalries and rumours of corruption. With his previously stable relationship with Hannah Campbell wavering, Resnick is forced back on his self-belief, his understanding of people. Why - himself included - they do the things they do.

He is also a poet, dramatist and broadcaster. After living in Nottingham for a good number of years, he has now returned to London to live with his partner and their young daughter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Final book in the Inspector Resnick series, 11 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Rites (Paperback)
This is the final book in the Inspector Resnick series. The author says in the preface there will be no more. If you enjoyed the previous books in the series, this offers more of the same ; Resnick 's life in and out of a Nottingham police station. But, since this is the final book, many of the loose ends from previous stories are tied off in a satisfactory and unusually upbeat manner. I am a fan of the Resnick novels and thoroughly enjoyed this one too.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fitting end to the series, 11 May 2006
By PJW Griffin (staffs,uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not the best (for me it's 'Wasted Years') but a fitting end to the Resnick series. The most engaging fictional cop presides over the inevitable downbeat plot, while the one possible upbeat ending, prefaced throughout the series, actually happens. The only soppy bit in ten books? Thanks for about 12 years enjoyment to Mr Harvey.
