Where It Hurts

The City of Forts Trilogy, Book Three

In this town, doing the right thing is just another way to get hurt.

Haunted by his daughter's slow decline and his brother's ties to the criminal underworld, Ricky Nardilo returns to his decaying hometown with one goal: save his brother and make something right before it's too late.

But this is a town where loyalty is currency and violence is inevitable. As long-buried secrets surface and his troubled family fractures even more, Ricky's attempt to take control only drags him deeper into a criminal war he never wanted. Every choice tightens the noose, forcing him to confront the price of redemption and the mistakes that shattered his family.

To survive, Ricky must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to be a father, a brother, and a man in a place that never forgets and never forgives.

Where it Hurts is the explosive final chapter in the City of Forts trilogy, where every debt comes due and no one walks away unscarred.

A must-read for fans of Dennis Lehane, James Lee Burke, and Greg Iles.
