Every tough guy has a weak spot, and Trick’s is his love for his son

Ex-con Patrick Halloran is trying to get a job and go straight. He missed out on his child’s early years, now all he wants is to spend more time with him. Getting back with his fiery ex, Ginger, would be a bonus.

In jail, Patrick concentrated on one thing: getting his head in order to do right by his son. He trained, studied and kept out of trouble; now he is hoping he can lead a normal life.

When a Mexican gang threatens his son, ex-con Patrick Halloran must turn back to crime.

Under pressure to pay off a debt, and unwilling to turn snitch, Patrick takes a risk, and ends up on the wrong side of a Mexican gang.

Having to raise cash quickly takes Patrick straight back into Chicago’s dangerous underworld where life is cheap, and deeper and deeper into an impossible predicament until he gets an offer he can’t refuse.

When does the Movie come out ?

Received this book at 9 am, I thought I would try a few chapters a day and savor the read. Turns out I went through 8pm and could not put the book down. Great character development. There was a part of the book I wanted to rest my eyes but just had to get back into it and See how Pat (Trick) was going to work through another twist in his plan. Honestly this is a Novel made for an Action Movie. I felt all the emotions the author intended the readers to feel . The strongest feeling I had was sadness that the story was over. .. enter sequel please
What a great story. Well done.

Action Thrillers are not the genre I usually enjoy but this book was recommended by and friend of mine and I was not disappointed. Never wanted to put it aside but life does get in the way. However, the characters, plot and writing style all contributed to finishing in 4 days. Perfect for your summer reading list because you'll want to finish it in a day and can do that while sitting on the beach! Looking forward to more from this new author.

This is the first novel that I've read by this author. I really enjoyed the storyline because it wasn't far fetched. It was easy to keep up with his writing.
I'll be looking for more books from this author.
Thanks amazon.com for sharing.

I enjoyed reading this book. Having grown up in the area, it was fun to know exactly where the author was talking about. Also enjoyed hearing a few places mentioned that are no longer there. Blast from the past!

The best book I've read in a long time!!

Well I read Southside Hustle at work on the sneak. Couldn't put it down, read it all in one day. Now I'm depressed cause I'm done. Being from the South Side, I could visualize all the places and areas, streets, restaurants, bars, etc. where Trick was at throughout the story. That made it even better. The story kept my attention from first page to the end. Now I'm curious about Tricks life leading up to his incarceration...hhmmm maybe???
I will definitely keep my eyes out for any more books from Lou Holly, Author.

Good read about a young man with a bad start in life. Sad things happen. Things twist and turn.
Has a different ending, I'm not sure I buy. You read and decide for yourself.

Southside Hustle kept me engrossed and my mind swaying back and forth as to what the outcome was going to be. There were some surprising touches to this tough story. The main character was smart, but could sure get himself in troublesome situations. I enjoyed the references to the south side of Chicago, since that is where I grew up. Definitely a gripping read.

Great Chicago crime story

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016

For anyone who loves crime fiction, this is a fast, gut-punching read. Set in the South Side of Chicago in the 1980s, you can almost smell the Old Style and char-dogs.
