Where It Hurts (A Gus Murphy Novel)

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 liveâ€”and die.
Â
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 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.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Now divorced and working as a courtesy van driver for a run-down hotel, Gus has settled into a mindless, soulless routine. But his comfortable waking trance comes to an end when ex-con Tommy Delcamino asks him for help. Four months earlier, the battered body of Tommyâ€™s son TJ was discovered in a wooded lot, yet the Suffolk County PD doesnâ€™t seem interested in pursuing the killers. In desperation, Tommy seeks out the only cop he ever trustedâ€”Gus Murphy.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Gus reluctantly agrees to see what he can uncover, and as he begins to investigate, he finds that Tommy was telling the truth. Everyone involved with the late TJ Delcaminoâ€”from his best friend, to a gang enforcer, to a Mafia capo, and even the policeâ€”has something to hide, and all are willing to go to extreme lengths to keep it hidden. Itâ€™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.
