John Harvey: Living Proof (USA 2008)

From the Publisher:
"Harvey's seventh procedural is smartly paced, slyly humorous, unsentimental about police work, violence, and other alienations of aff ection -- altogether one of his best. Just like his first six." -- Kirkus Reviews
"John Harvey's Resnick novels are far and away the finest British police procedurals yet written." -- GQ "If Harvey gets any better, the rest of us may have to kill him." -- Reginald Hill

Resnick's hands are full enough tracking down the prostitute who is stabbing her clients, without having to babysit a strong-mouthed American crime writer, visiting the city with her husband and prey to threats of violence.

From the Publisher:
When a man is found in the middle of Alfreton Road in the early hours of a Sunday morning, stark naked and bleeding heavily from a chest wound, he is the latest victim in a series of vicious attacks on men. But enquiries in the mean streets of Nottingham's red-light district have brought the investigations to a dead end.

Charlie Resnick is the man for the job. And as if he hasn't had enough to deal with, he now has to provide police protection for a celebrity at the annual crime convention - an author with the some very unpleasant 'fan' mail. Chronically short-staffed as he is, it's a guessing game as to when Resnick's lack of manpower will have fatal consequences...
