Hard Feelings - Paperback

From the Anthony Award-winning author of The Follower and Panic Attack comes a classic noir novel of obsession, paranoia, and revenge.

Things aren't going well for Richie Segal.

At thirty-four, Richie's career is stalled, his marriage is strained, and his confidence is shot. His wife Paula is thriving at work while Richie can't land a single account-and he's starting to drink again. Worse, he can't stop obsessing over whether Paula is seeing someone else.

Then there are the memories he can't shake: the neighborhood bully who terrorized him when he was thirteen. Michael Rudnick.

When Richie unexpectedly runs into Rudnick on the street, something inside him snaps. For the first time in his life, Richie feels powerful. In control. And he knows exactly what he needs to do.

At first, everything gets better.

Then it gets much, much worse.

In the dark tradition of Jim Thompson and James M. Cain, Hard Feelings plunges deep into the mind of an ordinary man pushed past his breaking point-delivering a gripping psychological crime novel about masculinity, resentment, and the terrifying consequences of giving in to your worst impulses.
