Last rites a new resnick novel
Lorraine Preston's brother, Michael, was sent down for life for the murder of their father, and now he's being allowed out for their mother's funeral. A hardened criminal, Michael Preston is the last person Resnick wants back on his patch, even is it's only for a matter of hours. Heartsore and world-weary, Resnick is struggling to contain an explosive situation on the streets, where the spread of guns has led to a frightening escalation in drug-related crime. The local force, meanwhile, is riven by internal rivalries and rumours of corruption. With his previously stable relationship with Hannah Campbell wavering, Resnick is forced back on his self-belief, his understanding of people. Why, himself included, they do the things they do.

- "The final Resnick novel. Charlie Resnick isn't having an easy ride. A black man is stabbed in a local brawl, yet no one else was hurt, or even saw the knife. One of the brawlers is then shot by two black youths. With the victims involved in different drugs circles, Resnick worries the dealers are targeting each other's men in a private way."
- "When a convicted murderer out on compassionate leave turns up at his mother's funeral and abruptly disappears, the local cops don't have much time to spare for a manhunt. This is Charlie Resnick's final case--and it's Resnick at his finest."@en
