Part of NPR&rsquo;s Guide to 2016 Great ReadsNamed one of The Washington Post&rsquo;s Best Mystery Books and Thrillers of 2016&ldquo;There&rsquo;s the thrill that comes in discovering a terrific new mystery writer, and then there&rsquo;s the thrill that comes in discovering a terrific new &mdash; and different &mdash; mystery novel written by an already acknowledged master&hellip;.Superb&hellip;another standout series&hellip;.in Coleman&rsquo;s hands, all the standard elements seem as radiant and new as a freshly peroxided blonde&hellip;.Where It Hurts&#160;is one of those evocative mysteries that readers will remember as much for its charged sense of place as for any of its other considerable virtues.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;Coleman has long been one of the best crime novelists in the business&hellip;Where It&#160;Hurts&#160;is a superb detective novel in the Raymond Chandler tradition, featuring fine prose, a suspenseful yarn and a compelling main character who will leave readers hungering for the next installment.&rdquo;&mdash;Associated Press&ldquo;Coleman&rsquo;s busy book&mdash;set far from the Hamptons in &ldquo;those ugly patches we Long Islanders like to pretend don&rsquo;t exist&rdquo;&mdash;has plenty of robust regional flavor.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Coleman&hellip;is an excellent storyteller, and his colorful, punchy writing displays a delicious noir cynicism&hellip;.But what local crime fiction fans will find most absorbing about&#160;Where It Hurts&#160;is its clear-eyed knowing portrait of the people and places that comprise Long Island&rsquo;s hidden underworld.&rdquo;&mdash;Newsday&ldquo;Coleman writes with&hellip;a rough beauty&hellip;.Coleman is a genius&hellip;.Fascinating reading and will richly entertain you.&rdquo;&mdash; Jackie K Cooper, Book Critic, The Huffington Post&ldquo;Coleman&rsquo;s poetic pulp fiction in Where It Hurts translates seamlessly to the here and now&hellip;.It&rsquo;s proof that the hard-boiled detective genre is timeless. His version of Sam Spade merely carries a cellphone and has a therapist.&rdquo;&mdash;The Dallas Morning News&ldquo;Gus, who is absolutely one of genre veteran Coleman&rsquo;s best-drawn characters, brings the hard-boiled investigator&rsquo;s requisite battle scars to the table without the self-destructive bent we&rsquo;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&rsquo;s quickening tempo, hopefully signaling the start of a series.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred)&ldquo;Stellar series kickoff . . . Coleman&rsquo;s moving portrayal of a man in deep, deep pain, a tightly constructed plot, and a gift for making Long Island seem like James Ellroy&rsquo;s L.A. add up to a winner.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;It&rsquo;s impossible to pull Gus, whose depressive streak is matched only by his bulldog determination, off the case. Tracking down three lowlifes&hellip;he quickly finds himself in a whirlpool of sex, drugs, murder, and warnings to walk away.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus&ldquo;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.&rdquo; &mdash;Nelson DeMille&#160;"One of the greatest voices in contemporary crime fiction, and one of the best storytellers too. I loved this book. Nobody does it better."&mdash;Lee Child&ldquo;Gus Murphy is the new name in crime fiction. He is my kind of guy and Where It Hurts, Reed Farrel Coleman&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t wait for Murphy and Coleman to show up again.&rdquo;&mdash; Michael Connelly&ldquo;The author of the &lsquo;Moe Prager&rsquo; series has created another engaging sleuth in the down-but-not-out Gus&hellip;The ancillary characters, both good and bad, are also a fascinating mix. Moe Prager fans will hail this new series, as will lovers of solid mysteries, especially those set on Long Island.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal (starred)&#160;&ldquo;Modern noir at its absolute best! Reading Where It Hurts is to bask in the joy of the heyday of private eye fiction&mdash;Chandler, Hammett, Cain and the whole crew. Everything&rsquo;s a delight, from the speedy and clever plot, to the firecracker snap of the dialog, to the heart-wrenching portrayal of the characters&mdash;good and bad. And Gus Murphy, what a protagonist! Coleman&rsquo;s truly delivered, and then some.&rdquo;&mdash;Jeffery Deaver &#160;&ldquo;Where It Hurts is a thrilling start to a new series by Reed Farrel Coleman - who writes some of the best crime fiction around.&#160; Tough prose, taut plotting, and a great new protagonist named Gus Murphy.&#160; Coleman's got a winner here."&mdash;Linda Fairstein&ldquo;Reed Farrel Coleman&rsquo;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.&rdquo;&mdash;Pat Conroy, author of South of Broad and Beach Music&#160;&ldquo;Where It Hurts ushers us into a vivid and rueful new world with a striking and haunted hero for whom we fall hard.&#160; 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&rsquo;ll want to live with for a very, very long time.&rdquo;&mdash;Megan Abbot, New York Times bestselling author of Dare Me and The Fever&#160;&ldquo;Where It Hurts is taut, smart, and engaging with a terrific sense of place.&#160; Readers will never go wrong with Gus Murphy or his creator Reed Farrel Coleman.&rdquo;&mdash;C.J. Box, New York Times bestselling author of Endangered
