About the Book

A stint as a bodyguard sucks Cuddy into a vicious divorce case. Divorce will not be easy for Hanna Marsh. Her drug-dealing husband, Roy, is a cruel man, whose greed makes him unwilling to part with anything he owns -- including his money, wife, and daughter. Hanna's lawyer is terrified of Roy, but has the sense to hire John Francis Cuddy, private detective, to protect Hanna during the negotiations. Cuddy doesn't wait to get mean with Roy, and the result of his tough talk is clear as soon as they return to Hanna's temporary residence: her daughter's kitten slaughtered on the floor. Cuddy makes Roy pay for his vile behavior, humiliating the drug pusher in an attempt to set his wife free. But when Roy takes a headfirst dive out a hotel window, leaving behind a murdered prostitute and a missing shipment of cocaine, suspicion falls on Cuddy. To save his client's life, Cuddy must put his own on the line.

About the Author :
Jeremiah Healy (b. 1948) is the creator of the John Cuddy mystery series and the author of several legal thrillers. A graduate of Rutgers University, Healy taught at the New England School of Law before becoming a novelist. He published his first novel, Blunt Darts, in 1984, introducing John Francis Cuddy, the Boston private eye who would become Healy's best-known character. Moral, honest, and occasionally violent, Cuddy makes his living solving cases that have fallen through the cracks of the Boston police department. Although Healy published the final Cuddy novel, Spiral, in 1999, he has continued to follow the character in short stories. Upon concluding the Cuddy series, Healy drew on his legal experience to write thrillers under the pseudonym Terry Devane. Of Healy's eighteen novels, fifteen have won or been nominated for the Shamus Award. His most recent book is A Stain Upon the Robe (2003).

Review :
'Street-smart dialogue ... astute sleuthing.' -- The New York Times Book Review . 'Sizzling ... a knockout ... A beguiling sense of humor, ingenious plotting and avoidance of shallow sentimentality are traits that take Healy's novels to the top.' -- Publishers Weekly. 'Healy's original characters and clever plotting bring a new realism to the field.' -- Gregory McDonald, author of Fletch.
