Hard as Nails
ByPublisher Description
If you're going to shoot Joe Kurtz, you'd better shoot to kill.
Ex-PI Joe Kurtz's survival is on the line when an ambush leaves him badly wounded and his parole officer, Peg O'Toole, clinging to life. Their respective professions have ensured that neither suffers from a shortage of enemies, so narrowing down the suspects isn't easy. But Kurtz knows who's at the head of his list: Angelina Farino Ferrara, the lethal beauty who leads the Farino crime family, and her mob rival, Toma Gonzaga.
The odd thing is, each would rather hire Joe Kurtz than fire at him. Someone's causing trouble beneath the gray skies of western New York, and it's drawn the notice of the mobs and the cops. Kurtz is caught in the middle along with the rest of them, and no one knows who's tightening the vise.

“Joe Kurtz is truly ‘hard as nails’!
The final instalment in the Joe Kurtz trilogy meets expectations set up from the first two books, which keeps you engaged throughout but leaves you waiting for the next twist.
This is both a positive and negative for me, as whilst I was eager to see what happens next, I was always expecting a twist or for a returning character to appear from earlier on in the book, which made parts slightly predictable.
That being said, we got some hands on detective work from Arlene, which was fresh!
Hard as Nails is a solid crime read, of which isn’t my usual genre of reading, but am always happy to expand my reading from time to time, and with crime books, I was more than happy to take that risk with Dan. He remains one of my favourite authors and am glad I’ve now finished the trilogy, and can move on to another of his books the next time I’m in a Simmons mood.”
