Shooting Dr. Jack: A Novel - Softcover
Violence is no stranger to Brooklyn's Troutman Street, a place where whores, junkies, businesses, cars, and dreams go to die. But here, in a junkyard on Troutman Street, three men search for redemption.
Stoney wakes up with a hangover every morning. He loves his family, but they're terrified of him. One more DWI and he'll do time that he can't afford. His partner Tommy would run their "business" right into the ground -- or make them a fortune; no way to tell which.
Tommy Roselli, a.ka. "Fat Tommy," a.ka. "Tommy Bagadonuts" knows the best restaurants in New York and how much to tip the maître d' in each one. He knows who to call if he really wants you sleeping with the fishes. If you met Tommy, you'd remember him. But he'd remember you, your phone number, your wife's name, and what his chances with her are.
Tuco has a gift, one that will come in handy for Stoney and Tommy when people start dying on Troutman Street. But as he learns to use it -- struggling to walk the line between family, friends, and the law -- he almost forgets the first rule of Troutman Street: Watch your back.

Review:
" Norman Green writes with a voice that bites like razor wire. A gritty, dark and totally original debut."--Harlan Coben, author of Tell No One and Darkest Fear
"Can this guy write! Fast-paced with complex, interesting characters, this is one terrific debut novel."--Ridley Pearson, bestselling author of No Witness
"This novel mixes elements of "The Sopranos" and "Traffic" and comes up with the best qualities of both."--Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
"...Crackles with enough good lines to have been saved up for a lifetime."--Tampa Tribune

Norman Green reports this about himself: "I have always been careful, as Mark Twain advised, not to let schooling interfere with my education. Too careful, maybe. I have been, at various times, a truck driver, a construction worker, a project engineer, a factory rep, and a plant engineer, but never, until now, a writer." He lives in Emerson, New Jersey, with his wife, and is hard at work on his second novel.
