The last words Norma Snape said to her youngest that Thursday: "You let me get my hands on you, you little tripeshanks, and I'll wring your miserable neck!" (from the first line)
| The best--and most challenging--book in the Charles Resnick series. |
Annotation:
Shortly after his 15th birthday, young miscreant Nicky Snape is found dead from hanging in the juvenile detention home where he is being held. Usually a petty thief, it seems that this time Nicky had gotten in way over his head.

New York Times Book Review
"The characters in John Harvey's urban crime novels are so defiantly alive and unruly that they put these British police procedurals on a shelf all by themselves. The author animates an entire family in 'Easy Meat', studying them in obsessive detail to determine what makes them the way they are....Mr. Harvey writes with painful urgency about the kind of sexual and psychological abuse that no child can completely outgrow. If this is one of Mr. Harvey's darkest books, it is also one of his most enlightened." - Marilyn Stasio 09/29/1996 Kirkus Reviews
"Without question, 'Easy Meat' is John Harvey's best." Literary Review
"Pacey, sober and compassionate, with a feeling for here and now authentic enough to pack in a time capsule...A terrific return to form by Harvey." - Philip Oakes October/1996
