Synopsis

If John Harvey's novels were songs, Charlie Parker would play them. Cutting Edge sings the blues for people too bruised to carry the tune for themselves. Writing in a minor key to tell this moody revenge tragedy, Mr. Harvey creates characters of astonishing psychological diversity. Their voices are abrasive and often husky with pain; but in the end, they all sing their song.-The New York Times Book ReviewSeveral members of staff at the local hospital have been seriously attacked at night with a scalpel. Charlie Resnick strives to find a connection between them before assault becomes murder.

Rare Book

Review:

"Harvey plays it note perfect in a plot so solidly built you could pick it up and bounce it. Suspenseful, humane and satisfying" (Literary Review)

"If the title King of Crime is to go to the male writer who is at the summit of his form writing some of the best crime fiction on this side of the Atlantic, the crown is John Harvey's" (The Times)

"The inner city is brilliantly and chillingly drawn so that you can almost smell the wet concrete. Top marks" (Spectator)
