From the back cover:
Two teenage girls are victims of a bloody Valentine's Day shooting; one survives, the other is less fortunate...
It's one of a rising number of violent incidents in the city, and DI Charlie Resnick, nearing retirement, is hauled back to the front line to help deal with the fallout.
But when the dead girl's father seeks to lay the blame on DI Lynn Kellogg, Resnick's colleague and lover, the line between personal and professional becomes dangerously blurred.
As Lynn, shaken by this very public accusation, is forced to question her part in the teenager's death, Resnick struggles against those in the force who disapprove of his maverick ways. But when the unimaginable occurs, an emotional Resnick takes matters into his own hands. This time he will need all his strength to see justice done...

This is the first John Harvey book I've read and I really enjoyed it. I only bought it because it was set in Nottingham and I wanted to take it to BCUK Uncon. Unfortunately it is the last in the Charles Resnick series, so I am going to have to find the previous 10 books now!
