Charlie Resnick, recently promoted to Detective Inspector and ambivalent, at best, about some of the police tactics used in the Strike, had run a surveillance-gathering unit at the heart of the dispute.
Now, in virtual retirement, the discovery of the body of a young woman who disappeared during the Strike brings Resnick back to the front line to assist in the investigation into the woman''s murder--forcing him to confront his past--in what will assuredly be his last case . . . as well as John''s Harvey''s final Charlie Resnick novel.
