On the Ropes: A Duffy Dombrowski Mystery
by Tom Schreck

Midnight Ink , $13.95
Paperback | September 2007
9780738711140

 



Duffy Dombrowski is not your average social worker. When he's not counseling sex addicts and drug users in a town outside of New York City, you can find him crooning Elvis tunes, getting "Schlitzed" with his quirky friends, or fighting ex-Olympians in the boxing ring. Our less-than-perfect hero occasionally uses his mean left hook on pimps and other lowlifes, too. But at least he cares about his clients.

When Walanda, a schizophrenic, crack-addicted prostitute, is murdered, Duffy pledges to take care of her basset hound "Allah King" and find her missing stepdaughter, Shony. He's horrified to discover the teenager is ensnared in a web porn ring—a vile enterprise that enslaves crack-addicted women and their children.

On the verge of losing his job—and his life—Duffy also gets mixed up with a creepy doctor with ties to Pakistani extremists. Still, nothing will stop this conflicted Robin Hood from trying to save Shony and foil a terrorist plot.

Susan T. Says:
"Duffy Dombrowski is a social worker who likes helping people who no one else wants to help. So when one of his clients is killed in jail, he is determined to find out why. The style is a cross between Janet Evanovich and Dennis Lehane – treat yourself to this very funny and gripping read! Bonus: there are more Duffy Dombrowski books in the works."
