“Harvey’s police procedurals are in a class by themselves—near Dickensian in their portrayal of human frailty, cinematic in their quick changes of scene and character, totally convincing in their plotting and motivation.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews
Grice and Grabianski are an ill-matched pair of burglars working Charlie Resnick’s patch. When they break into the house of television director Harold Roy, they get more than they bargained for. Grabianski falls in love—or is it lust—with the director’s wife, and the pair become enmeshed in a dangerous plot to sell the cocaine that was in the safe back to its supplier.
