My favorite text - the one that always have the answer (although you might have to dig)- is:
Grammar in the Classroom by Lester
I also have a book from a class on History of the English Language at home that is wonderful. Its by Rodman I believe. Its written by a couple and its a standard text for English degrees, check out a college bookstore to see if you can find it.
While these books may not have the absolute rule written in stone, they provide knowledge of English to a point that you can decide on the rule that fits the situation.
