His guest post here today is part of the book’s virtual tour, courtesy Pump Up Your Book Promotion . In The Cutting : Detective Sergeant Michael McCabe moved from New York City to Portland, Maine, to escape a dark past: both the ex-wife who’d left him for an investment banker, and the tragic death of his brother, a hero cop gone bad.
