"Coleman has long been one of the best crime novelists in the business...Where It Hurts is a superb detective novel in the Raymond Chandler tradition, featuring fine prose, a suspenseful yarn and a compelling main character who will leave readers hungering for the next installment."--Associated Press
"Coleman's busy book--set far from the Hamptons in "those ugly patches we Long Islanders like to pretend don't exist"--has plenty of robust regional flavor."--New York Times Book Review
"Coleman...is an excellent storyteller, and his colorful, punchy writing displays a delicious noir cynicism....But what local crime fiction fans will find most absorbing about Where It Hurts is its clear-eyed knowing portrait of the people and places that comprise Long Island's hidden underworld."--Newsday "Coleman writes with...a rough beauty....Coleman is a genius....Fascinating reading and will richly entertain you."-- Jackie K Cooper, Book Critic, The Huffington Post "Coleman's poetic pulp fiction in Where It Hurts translates seamlessly to the here and now....It's proof that the hard-boiled detective genre is timeless. His version of Sam Spade merely carries a cellphone and has a therapist."--The Dallas Morning News "Gus, who is absolutely one of genre veteran Coleman's best-drawn characters, brings the hard-boiled investigator's requisite battle scars to the table without the self-destructive bent we've been trained to expect. Instead, he meets his tragedy and its consequences with a considered straightforwardness, and his desire for justice reawakens in time with the investigation's quickening tempo, hopefully signaling the start of a series."--Booklist (starred) "Stellar series kickoff . . . Coleman's moving portrayal of a man in deep, deep pain, a tightly constructed plot, and a gift for making Long Island seem like James Ellroy's L.A. add up to a winner." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "It's impossible to pull Gus, whose depressive streak is matched only by his bulldog determination, off the case. Tracking down three lowlifes...he quickly finds himself in a whirlpool of sex, drugs, murder, and warnings to walk away."--Kirkus "Reed Farrel Coleman introduces a great new character, Gus Murphy, a street savvy ex-cop who operates beneath the glitter of the Gold Coast and the glitz of the Hamptons in a Long Island that few outsiders ever see. Where It Hurts is a gut punch of a novel, a murder mystery layered with grief, greed, and grit. Coleman is as good as Chandler, Hammett or Ed McBain." --Nelson DeMille "One of the greatest voices in contemporary crime fiction, and one of the best storytellers too. I loved this book. Nobody does it better."--Lee Child "Gus Murphy is the new name in crime fiction. He is my kind of guy and Where It Hurts, Reed Farrel Coleman's spectacularly absorbing new novel, is my kind of story. You go into a story like this expecting/hoping for a solid character to ride with, a high-octane story in which you don't see the turns coming in the road ahead, and a truthful observation on life from a different angle. As usual, Coleman delivers. I can't wait for Murphy and Coleman to show up again."-- Michael Connelly "The author of the 'Moe Prager' series has created another engaging sleuth in the down-but-not-out Gus...The ancillary characters, both good and bad, are also a fascinating mix. Moe Prager fans will hail this new series, as will lovers of solid mysteries, especially those set on Long Island."--Library Journal (starred) "Modern noir at its absolute best! Reading Where It Hurts is to bask in the joy of the heyday of private eye fiction--Chandler, Hammett, Cain and the whole crew. Everything's a delight, from the speedy and clever plot, to the firecracker snap of the dialog, to the heart-wrenching portrayal of the characters--good and bad. And Gus Murphy, what a protagonist! Coleman's truly delivered, and then some."--Jeffery Deaver "Where It Hurts is a thrilling start to a new series by Reed Farrel Coleman - who writes some of the best crime fiction around. Tough prose, taut plotting, and a great new protagonist named Gus Murphy. Coleman's got a winner here."--Linda Fairstein "Reed Farrel Coleman's Where It Hurts tells a riveting story about a Long Island that has nothing to do with the romantic vision of F. Scott Fitzgerald in this action packed tale of an amoral world. Coleman is a born storyteller who writes with great authority and gives as much bang for the buck as the best books in the genre."--Pat Conroy, author of South of Broad and Beach Music"Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
