Hard Knocks
Howie Carr grew up reading mysteries and detective novels, and not just George V. Higgins either. He’s read hundreds from the Thirties on — Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Mike Hammer, Michael Shayne, Nero Wolfe, etc. He’d always wanted to write one of his own, and has — several times. “Hard Knocks” is the culmination of those efforts, the first Howie Carr novel to be published. This is a fast-moving, old-style mystery, not to be confused with the sensitive musings of a graduate of the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where the hero is a grad student in English literature musing on man’s fate as the snow falls gently on the frozen lake….
Howie wanted to write the kind of mystery he enjoys — with lots of snappy dialogue and plot twists, the kind of book you’d take with you to the beach or on a plane ride. If you like Howie’s non-fiction books and columns, you’re going to love “Hard Knocks.”
Nice job Howie! I’ll see you on the Cape!

Great read Howie, I am 1/2 way through and can’t put it down.
Thanks
Only a few pages into Hard Knocks and I’m crackin’ up!!!…Jack is sooo Howie and that’s a good thing…
Who the hell is going to play me when they make the film version of “Hard Knocks?” With the exception of Chris Cooper, I dont think there is a finocchio in Hollywood up to the task of playing me in a movie.
Makes ya sick!
WICKED!
Read Hard Knox and loved it. I liked how the ficticous characters were really some of of own politicians and how I actually new who they were in real life. Hope your working on another book.
Read all your books, awesome . What’s next Sal’s confession ???
