Hard Knocks by Howie Carr
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.Howie Carr is a renowned radio talk show host that is syndicated throughout New England. He is a native of Portland, Maine. He has raised a lot of eyebrows and voices over the years with his caustic exposes of local leaders. He's known for pushing the boundaries and never admitting when he's gone too far. He has also been on NBC, MSNBC, C-SPAN, Court TV, CNN, and the Fox News Network on a regular basis. Carr worked as the Boston Herald American's City Hall bureau head and then as the paper's State House bureau chief.
Carr's coverage of then-Mayor Kevin White for WNEV, Channel 7, was so unrelenting that when White declared he wouldn't run again, he told the Boston Sunday Globe that one of the things he liked best about his upcoming retirement was not having Carr hound him around the city. He won the National Magazine Award for Essays and Criticism in 1985, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. He has been nominated for an Emmy Award in television.
