I finished reading "Cold In Hand" by John Harvey this morning. Cold In Hand is the latest Charlie Resnick novel, set 10 years after the rest of the series. John Harvey decided to stop writing about Resnick, as he had moved away from Nottinghma where the books are set, and also didin't want to be rehashing storylines etc. For some reason, however, he has decided to write this nover, although it looks as if it could be the last one featuring Charlie Resnick as the main character.
This novel finds Resnick looking towards the possibilty of retirement from the police as he is coming up for thirty years on the force. He is now in a relationship with Lynn Kellog, and appears to be in a happy domestic situation although he seems to be a bit disenchanted with his career.
At first while reading this, it didn't really feel like one of the Resnick books, but this could be down to the space between the previous Resnick stories and this one. However, theplot started to pick up and from there on, it was quite hard to put the book down. This was a very enjoyable book which I would recommend.
