Charlie ResnickSéria
Táto séria sleduje cynického, no citlivého detektíva z Nottinghamu, ktorého láska k jazzu preniká jeho vyšetrovaním aj osobným životom. Každý prípad ponúka zložitú zápletku zasadenú do realistického britského prostredia, kde napätie strieda melanchólia. Príbehy skúmajú ľudskú povahu a morálne dilemy, ktorým čelia policajti aj tí, ktorých prenasledujú. Ide o pútavé čítanie pre milovníkov klasických detektívnych príbehov s nádychom blues.
