If you love great mysteries with a bit of sports thrown in and lots of drama, you'll love the second book in the Duffy Dombrowski series.  In the second installment, Duffy has a lot on his plate. His girlfriend broke up with him. He's teaching a teen karate lessons and getting ready for a fight, there's strife at work, and his new client is controversial from his parole. When there's murders happening at the same place his client, Howard Rhineheart, killed four people, thirty years ago, he's under suspicion. Everyone believes it's him, while Duffy believes his innocence, when the world's against him. When he goes investigates the going-ons at the high school, he's closer to the truth and facing danger straight on.  Lots of good drama here.

If you're looking for a new hero for your mystery series, try Duffy Dombrowski, a Irish-Polish boxer who's a caring social worker and loves Elvis and dogs. In On the Ropes, you'll be introduced to him and his career and what starts out the chain reaction of events in the proceeding chapters and evil characters. There's some good action scenes, some to make you laugh and cheer, and some hard cold truth about life in New York and our culture. I don't want to give anything anyway. You'll enjoy it. Try it out for yourself and step into the boxing ring. Ding ding ding!
