In this installment of Harvey’s excellent police procedurals set in Nottingham, England, the medical staff of the hospital seem to be being targeted by a slasher, who leaves them barely alive. Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick and his team show their usual talent for noting the subtle inconsistencies that lead to the resolution and arrest. The subplots are also intriguing, as a jazzman down on his luck moves in with Resnick and the public defender is especially obnoxious. As ever, worth reading.
