Reviews
Praise for Reed Farrel Coleman's Other Books "[An] intelligent, literary series by a fine writer who has made his reputation both as a mystery writer and a poet." -Associated Press "Among the undying conventions of detective fiction is the one that requires every retired cop to have a case that still haunts him. Reed Farrel Coleman blows the dust off that cliché in Walking the Perfect Square with a mystery that would get under anyone's skin." -Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review "Reed Farrel Coleman is one of the more original voices to emerge from the crime fiction field in the last ten years. For the uninitiated, Walking the Perfect Square is the place to start." -George Pelecanos, bestselling author of The Way Home "Reed Farrel Coleman makes claim to a unique corner of the private detective genre." -Michael Connelly, New York Times bestselling author "In Reed Farrel Coleman's hands, the Moe Prager novels are one of the great series in PI literature." -Dennis Lehane, bestselling author of A Drink Before the War "Razor-edged contemporary whodunits don't get much better than Shamus winner Coleman's seventh Moe Prager mystery." - Publishers Weekly (starred review), "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 " Where It Hurts ushers us into a vivid and rueful new world with a striking and haunted hero for whom we fall hard. With his signature hard-bitten lyricism but with an urgency and darkness all its own, Reed Farrel Coleman has given us a riveting new series we'll want to live with for a very, very long time."-- Megan Abbot, New York Times bestselling author of Dare Me and The Fever, "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.

Readers will never go wrong with Gus Murphy or his creator Reed Farrel Coleman."--C.J. Box, New York Times bestselling author of Endangered

Synopsis
Nominated for the 2017 Edgar Award for Best Novel From the critically acclaimed and award-winning author comes a gritty, atmospheric new series about the other side of Long Island, far from the wealth of the Hamptons, where real people live--and die. Gus Murphy thought he had the world all figured out. A retired Suffolk County cop, Gus had everything a man could want: a great marriage, two kids, a nice house, and the rest of his life ahead of him. But when tragedy strikes, his life is thrown into complete disarray. In the course of a single deadly moment, his family is blown apart and he is transformed from a man who believes he understands everything into a man who understands nothing. Divorced and working as a courtesy van driver for the run-down hotel in which he has a room, Gus has settled into a mindless, soulless routine that barely keeps his grief at arm's length. But Gus's comfortable waking trance comes to an end when ex-con Tommy Delcamino asks him for help. Four months earlier, Tommy's son T.J.'s battered body was discovered in a wooded lot, yet the Suffolk County PD doesn't seem interested in pursuing the killers. In desperation, Tommy seeks out the only cop he ever trusted--Gus Murphy. Gus reluctantly agrees to see what he can uncover. As he begins to sweep away the layers of dust that have collected over the case during the intervening months, Gus finds that Tommy was telling the truth. It seems that everyone involved with the late T.J Delcamino--from his best friend, to a gang enforcer, to a mafia capo, and even the police--has something to hide, and all are willing to go to extreme lengths to keep it hidden. It's a dangerous favor Gus has taken on as he claws his way back to take a place among the living, while searching through the sewers for a killer., Gus Murphy, a retired cop, had everything a man could want: a great marriage, two kids, a nice house and the rest of his life ahead of him. But when his family is blown apart, he is transformed from a man who believes he understands everything into a man who understands nothing. Divorced and working as a courtesy van driver, ex-con Tommy Delcamino comes to him for help. Months earlier, TJ Delcamino's battered body was discovered and the police don't seem interested in finding the killers. In desperation, Tommy seeks out the only cop he ever trusted - Gus Murphy.
