I suspect I was the GQ hack who wrote that, and I think I still believe
it to be true, even if it has a slight ring of damning with faint praise
(and as I don't really think of the Derek Raymond books as police
procedurals). I do remember that what drew me to Lonely Hearts in the
first instance was a blurb from George V. Higgins, a man who rarely
blurbed. Long before the Resnick books, back in the '70s, Harvey wrote a
series of London-set PI novels which he disowns these days, but I
remember quite enjoying the one I read - any one else read them?
