Hard as Nails: A Joe Kurtz Novel (Simmons, Dan) Book

Somewhere in Western New York, there's an abandoned amusement park on a mountaintop in the moonlight, its overgrown rides filled only with corpses. If ex-PI Joe Kurtz doesn't unravel the secret of this place in five days, he'll be one of them. This time out, everyone wants a piece of Kurtz-and most succeed in getting one. Unknown assailants gun down Kurtz and his female parole officer, leaving Kurtz with the headache of a lifetime, but putting pretty Peg O'Toole on life support. Working his own case through a haze of concussion migraine, Kurtz has to deal with Toma Gonzaga, the gay don who owes him a blood debt, and Angelina Farino Ferrara, the female don who may be after Kurtz's body-or just his head.
