About
Before the success of Defending Jacob, William Landay wrote this critically acclaimed first novel of crime and suspense-perfect for fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Dennis Lehane.
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 city'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 police-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 man-or let a guilty one go free-one thing remains certain: The most powerful revelations are yet to come.
