John Harvey: Cutting Edge (USA 2008)

From the Publisher:
"If John Harvey's novels were songs, Charlie Parker would play them. "Cutting Edge" sings the blues for people too bruised to carry the tune for themselves. Writing in a minor key to tell this moody revenge tragedy, Mr. Harvey creates characters of astonishing psychological diversity. Their voices are abrasive and often husky with pain; but in the end, they all sing their song." The New York Times Book Review

Several members of staff at the local hospital have been seriously attacked at night with a scalpel. Charlie Resnick strives to find a connection between them before assault becomes murder.
