The Shuffle: The Duffy Mysteries

by Tom Schreck, Rich Palmer (Narrator)

When Duffy helps a young city girl get treatment for her addiction in a Florida rehab he thinks he did good, that is, until he finds out she’s caught up in “The Shuffle”—a sick, diabolical exploitation of addicted women. When she realizes she’s not there to get help but to be forced into prostitution, kept on drugs and coerced into financially exploiting the system for her captures, she splits. Then when a mass shooting destroys the rehab and the evidence points to her, Duffy knows she’s been set up.

Add in the governor of the state with an eye toward the White House taking more than a casual interest in her and Duffy knows something is rotten. It is time to head south.

About the author

Tom is the author of "On the Ropes," "TKO,""Out Cold" and "The Vegas Knockout,"all "Duffy Dombrowski Mysteries". His stand alone thriller, "Getting Dunn" was released in 2012.

The Duffy mysteries chronicle the life of a not-so-social social worker, always on the brink of getting fired, who is a bad professional boxer at night and whose best friends are a collection of lovable drunks.

Duffy is part philosopher, part Robin Hood and all heart as he throws himself into helping those who can't help themselves.

Then there's Al--his obstinate basset hound who prefers cheeseburgers, barking at Duffy and naps. But Al seems to show up exactly when it matters.

Often described as a modern day, hipper and less perfect Spenser, Duffy Dombrowski knows the ghetto street and just how unforgiving they can be.
