The protagonist felt a bit sorry for himself, but that is part of the genre . I felt Long Island itself needed more character, but the plot was good, and the resolution satisfying ( ) I can't believe this author has written 20 books, and I have never heard of much less read any of them. That is about to change. Where It Hurts is an Excellent start to a new book series. Gus Murphy hasn't been a cop since is son died 2 years ago, but he was a cop, a solid good cop, for 20 years. No he is a hollow shell of a man, when a lowlife from his past (Tommy D) reaches out to Gus, to ask for help, regarding the murder of his own son. Gus is soon buried in crosses and double crosses, doesn't know who if anyone in his old police department he can trust, yet the people warning him to stay away, and the dead bodies keep increasing. The action is non stop, the story is well told, and more importantly it isn't filled with, "that would never happen" moments. I can't wait to read the second book in the series, What You Break. no reviews | add a review
