Narrator Mike Grady delivers the twelfth, and noted by Harvey as final, Charlie Resnick mystery. This time the brooding, jazz-loving Nottingham detective must solve a decades-old murder that took place during the 1980s British national coal strike. Resnick has a new companion and boss, DI Catherine Njoroge. The mystery requires him to delve into his own police work during the long-ago strike. Grady does an outstanding job with the North Country and Midland accents the characters require. He makes Yorkshire and Nottingham dialects distinguishable, even to Americans. He's also a master at making the book's dialogue seem natural. At the same time, he conjures the world-weariness that Harvey's detective exudes as he uncovers, once again, the darkness in the human soul.
