Val smiled, imagining Junior's expression when he saw the show. Junior taped every episode of Jeopardy. Half the dope dealers in south Florida were glued to the tube every afternoon, making bets, yelling at the contestants. Junior once shot out a forty-seven inch Mitsubishi over a missed answer.Junior also killed Val's former partner and threatened his only living relative, his grandmother, Grace. Val takes the old woman with him from Miami, and they hide out in Southern California. Here, he plots some serious revenge on the Floridian villain. Complicating matters are a beautiful, troubled marine biologist named Kyle Abbott and her seriously dysfunctional wealthy family. There's also a pair of killer extortionists after the Abbott family's fortune--a gorgeous sociopath named Jackie and a monolithic Gulf War Syndrome victim named Dekker. They all start out as very nasty genre stereotypes, but end up, thanks to Ferrigno's marvelously deft touch, as understandable and even likable human beings. There are even a couple of fresh insights into the overused landscape of Los Angeles: "Even before dawn the freeways buzzed with ambition. It made him homesick for the sultry indolence of Miami, cruising down the A1A, windows rolled down so he could smell the oleander blooming along the median."
Other Ferrigno titles include Dead Man's Dance and Dead Silent. --Dick Adler
"Hearbreaker is a dark, comic tour-de-force. It's consistently and casually knockout, brutal, and hilarious. It's a hothouse flower with a wild sense of place and a wilder believability. Dig it and dig it now."
--James Ellroy, author of My Dark Places and L.A. Confidential
"I enjoyed it, and the farther I went in it, the more the story pulled me in . . . edgy, efficient, brutal and sometimes comical, with an unexpectedly moving love story."
--Craig Holden, author of Four Corners of the Night
