Where It Hurts - Tapa dura

"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
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"

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

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.
