Right As Wrong Can BE

by Michael Haskins

When Mick Murphy stops at night on U.S. 1 to assist a teenage girl in distress, his world begins to unravel. Chased by thugs, the girl is traumatized and can’t speak to Murphy. Once at home, his live-in Irish girlfriend Peggy Naughton helps communicate with the teenager. Soon a private investigator shows up in Key West looking for the teen and believes Murphy knows her whereabouts. Things get worse as Murphy tries to unite the girl with her family. In his way is his Russia Mafia nemeses Alexei, who wants the girl at any cost. Murphy wants to kill Alexei, up close and personal for his involvement in the death of Tita. Things only get worse when Albanian mobsters show up and want the girl too. There’s a Judas among Murphy’s eclectic friends and before it’s over, his life will have spiraled into the abyss.

[Hope · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book has met the same fate as other thrillers that have tried to enter my library. I'm not a fan of these types of thrillers and it honestly felt like a chore to read this book.

Another fast paced ride from Michael Haskins and our favorite Key West characters. My only complaint is that it took me one afternoon to read (I couldn't put it down)
