Head Wounds

Ex-boxer and former corporate exec Sam Acquillo becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a local builder in Knopf’s superb third Hamptons mystery. Brisk pacing and sharp dialogue carry the reader along, but it’s the endearing and deeply flawed Acquillo that’s the heart and soul of this exceptional series. —Publishers Weekly listed as one of Deadly Pleasures Best Mystery/Crime Novels of 2008 finalist ForeWord Magazine’s Book of the Year Award Benjamin Franklin Best Mystery Award
