About This Book
Former D.A. William Landay explodes onto the suspense scene with an electrifying
novel about the true price of crime and the hidden corners of the criminal
justice system. Only an insider could so vividly capture Boston’s gritty
underworld of cops and criminals. And only a natural storyteller could weave
this mesmerizing tale of murder and memory, a story about the hold of time past
over time present, and the story of one unforgettable young policeman who
ventures into the most dangerous place of all.
By a gleaming lake in the forests of western Maine, outside a sleepy town called
Versailles, the body of a man lies sprawled in a deserted cabin. The dead man
was an elite D.A. from Boston, and his beat was that city’s toughest
neighborhood: Mission Flats.
Now, for small-town police chief Ben Truman, investigating the murder will mean
leaving his quiet, haunted home and journeying to an alien world of hard streets
and hard bargains, where the fierce struggle between police and criminals is
fought for the ultimate stakes.
Ben joins a manhunt through Mission Flats, where cops are scrambling to find
their number-one suspect: Harold Braxton, a ruthless predator targeted for
prosecution by the murdered D.A. To the Boston police, Braxton is a marked man.
But as Ben watches the shadow dance of cops and suspects, he begins to voice
doubts about Braxton’s guilt…especially when he uncovers a secret history of
murder and retribution stretching back twenty years…back to a brutal killing now
nearly forgotten. As past and present collide and a bloody mystery unfolds, only
one thing remains certain: the most powerful revelations are yet to come.
Mission Flats is at once a relentless page-turning mystery and a vivid portrait
of a cop’s life. Here are the street corners, courtrooms, and stationhouses; the
deal makers, thugs, and quiet heroes. An unforgettable world, and the luminous,
boundary-breaking debut of a new voice in suspense fiction, Mission Flats will
haunt you long after the final pages.
