His life at a crossroads, Hardy checks into the hospital for treatment, only to discover upon his release that he's been suspended from duty. When a dying prisoner contacts him about a long-forgotten unsolved case, Emmett-temporarily at loose ends-begins an informal investigation.</p><p>Soon he becomes a target of violence himself, as his investigation becomes a murder probe implicating the most powerful men in town. Hardy is forced to relive one of the most traumatic events of his childhood, and faces the possibility that members of his own family may have been involved in the crime.</p><p>Ultimately, with Emmett's tenuous grasp on sobriety slipping and his moral foundation shifting beneath his feet, the answer to the question, "Who do I trust?" becomes a matter of life and death.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>As Seen in <em>Strand Magazine</em></strong></p><p>"<em>Ain't Nothin' Personal</em> is another not-to-be-missed installment in the Emmett Hardy series: witty, fast-paced, and irresistible." <strong>-<em>Sublime Book Review</em></strong></p><p>---</p><p><strong>2018 PenCraft Award Winner - Best Fiction for <em>Where the Hurt Is</em></strong></p><p><strong>Praise for Chris Kelsey: </strong></p><p>"Witty dialogue, action, intrigue, mystery!" <strong>-A.J.
