A Charlie Resnick Novel. 8.75"x5.75", 283 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. He'd been living on luck, was the way the lorry driver figured it. Lying in the middle of a major intersection, he'd come within a hairsbreadth of being squashed by the driver's eight-wheeler. He was stretched out stark naked, except for the designer sock on his left foot, and the driver thought he was drunk-until he turned him over and saw the stab wound. It made the fourth attack in the city's red-light district in as many months. Not exactly a crime wave, but worrisome nonetheless. It's early summer in Nottingham and he weather has turned warm. An invitation to loiter. And to crime. Given the budget crunch-new recruitment on hold, expenditures trimmed tighter than a poodle's rump-it's policing by the numbers, a boon time for cost accountants, not cops. So the last thing Charlie Resnick needs is a slasher. Or a media celebrity who has to be baby-sat. Cathy Jordan is one of the big-name centerpieces of the city's annual Shots in the Dark crime festival. A best-selling mystery writer in America whose fame has preceded her, she's attracting a lot of attention-not all of it welcome. A series of poison-pen letters has trailed her across the Atlantic, each promising a very nasty death. From the letters, it's clear that Jordan's pen pal has read her closely-and is not a fan. The last crime novel Charlie tried was a Leslie Charteris he'd found in a battered chest of drawers bought at auction. He'd never finished it. Now, rising crime rates and tightening budgets notwithstanding, he was about to take a crash course in the genre. At least one life depended on it.
