â‚¬Å“Landay writes with eloquent intensity.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The New York Times Book Review
Â
By a shimmering lake in western Maine, a body lies sprawled in a deserted cabin. The dead man was an elite D.A. from Boston whose beat was the cityâ‚¬s toughest neighborhood: Mission Flats. For local police chief Ben Truman, investigating the murder will mean leaving his quiet home and joining a vengeful manhunt in a world of hard streets and harder bargains. The cops have zeroed in on a suspect, a ruthless predator targeted for prosecution by the murdered D.A. But Ben distrusts the Boston policeâ‚¬"especially when he uncovers a secret history of murder and retribution stretching back twenty years. As past and present collide, as tribal loyalties threaten to lynch an innocent manâ‚¬"or let a guilty one go freeâ‚¬"one thing remains certain: The most powerful revelations are yet to come.
