All Kinds of Ugly

di Ralph Dennis (Autore)

Brash Books, 2020

The long-lost, never-before-published, thirteenth novel in the legendary Hardman series. Jim Hardman will do just about anything for a buck, short of a felony, though he has been known to push the line. It's a career choice that takes a big toll on his soul and leads him to a shocking discovery that breaks his heart. That's when a high-powered lawyer hires him to go to London to find the missing heir of a wealthy Georgia industrialist. The timing is perfect for Hardman, who is eager to escape his personal pain. But misery of a different sort is awaiting him in England, where he becomes embroiled in an ugly case of embezzlement and murder that follows him back to Atlanta...and that will have a devastating impact on his life. Includes an Afterword by Lee Goldberg, #1 New York Times bestselling author of True Fiction and Lost Hills Praise for the Hardman Series: "Expert writing, plus good plotting and an unusual degree of sensitivity. Ralph Dennis has mastered the genre and supplied top entertainment. " The New York Times "Exceptional characterization, strong and vigorous prose, and a glimpse into a place and time that has long since disappeared." Mystery Scene Magazine "Gritty writing? Tough talk? Gripping action? Yes, yes and yes." The Daily Oklahoman "It's gritty, it's grounded, and it's also strong on character. The writing is a cut above and then there's the social realism, the piercing look at racism, corruption and the underbelly of the city." NB Magazine UK "The Hardman books are by far the best of the men's action-adventure series." Mother Jones Magazine "Ralph Dennis is an underappreciated master. His Hardman series is one of the finest in the P.I. genre." Robert Randisi, founder of the Private Eye Writers of America
