3.7/5 stars. This book felt familiar to me. I either read it before and forgot most of the details, or I read another book that had similarities. The writing was solid, and I will read the next in the series.

Harvey's writing is seamless and elegant, like a hypodermic slipping under my skin and sending me on a smooth trip into Charlie Resnick's conflicted world. His pleasures are particular, food, coffee, jazz, and his agonies are shared, reluctantly, while his solid guidance and support for his crew of sergeants and constables is as reliable as the rain, which falls throughout every book. Noir? these are no cardboard figures, their flesh and spirits are more than 3-dimensional, they plumb deep and wide without fluttering off into fantasy. It is all too real, and tugs at my heart.
