On the Ropes (A Duffy Dombrowski Mystery)

On the Ropes (A Duffy Dombrowski Mystery)

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. "If you like underdogs, colourful characters, a fighter who never quits and a canine with more bite and heart than Jake LaMotta-then you'll find On the Ropes a unanimous winner' - Teddy Atlas, ESPN Boxing Analyst.
