Hard Knocks: A Novel

The New York Times–bestselling true crime author and radio sensation delivers a hard-hitting novel of survival, betrayal, deceit, and murder in Boston.

Jack Reilly, a dodgy ex-Boston cop, is trying to make ends meet as a private investigator. When a client is killed, execution style, Reilly finds himself in a whole world of pain. Someone wants him dead—but why? To find out, Reilly must weed through thirty years of duplicity, corruption, and killing . . . a web of politicians dirtier than mobsters and criminals nobler than senators. He needs to uncover the dangerous truth behind the bribery, blood, and backdoor deals that define the highest levels of both organized crime and State House politics—before it’s too late.

“A gritty, adventurous romp into the world of politics and mobsters in Boston with enough surprise twists to keep you guessing to the end.” —Criminal Element
