ABOUT THE BOOK

Dishonorably discharged Marine Mike DeFino arrives in New York with nothing but a duffle bag and a loan shark’s address. What starts as muscle work alongside a Russian enforcer turns into something completely different, as Mike is pulled into the inner circle of a rising crime boss.

As Mike proves himself—disposing of enemies, burying bodies, and enforcing debts—he draws the attention of NYPD lieutenant Frank Sasso. Sasso believes Mike is the key to toppling the crime boss, Pete Amuso, and he’s willing to bend the law to make it happen.

After the woman Mike is falling for becomes leverage, the war turns personal. Caught between a paranoid mob boss and a crooked cop obsessed with control, Mike faces an impossible choice: should he betray the man who gave him purpose, or sacrifice the only chance he has at a life beyond violence?

A story of power and survival, Daniel Kowalski’s OUR THING is a gritty, razor-sharp thriller set deep in the criminal underworld.

MY THOUGHTS

Our Thing by Daniel Kowalski is the first in a new series by the author of which a series continuation will be available later in the year.
This is a high crime novel that will keep you on your toes not knowing what to expect around every corner. Don’t let them catch you in any dark alleys. With great character development I was kept spellbound as the book really takes you through the paces right along with our main character.
Gritty and dark this one is all about survival of the fittest and not many can pass the test on the streets.
Looking forward to the continuation of the series.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
