""Third Rail "gets off to a ripping start and never lets off the gas. Rory Flynn is a suspense writer to watch."--Jess Walter, author of the best-selling "Beautiful Ruins"
Harvard-educated Eddy Harkness was a rising star in an elite Boston Police Department narcotics unit--until he was blamed for the death of a Red Sox fan in the chaotic aftermath of a World Series win. Scapegoated and exiled, Harkness now empties parking meters in the sleepy town of Nagog while struggling to clear his name.
Then one night his police-issued Glock disappears. Unable to report the theft, he starts a secret search--just as a string of fatal accidents leads him to uncover a dangerous new smart drug, Third Rail. With only a plastic gun to protect him, Harkness begins a high-stakes investigation that leads him into the top levels of Boston's power base, where politicians and criminals intertwine to deadly effect.
"Glows with the kind of sawdust-dry humor regarding Beantown, cops, and the darkest of urban underbellies that you might find at 3 a.m. in the back booth of a backstreet bar . . . With its gaggle of crazy-yet-riveting characters, its spare approach, and its unflagging action, "Third Rail"," " the first in a promised series of Eddy Harkness novels, adds yet another striking feather to Flynn's] impressively crowded cap." --"Boston Globe"
"Terrific debut . . . impressive economy and stylish, sophisticated prose . . . Readers will want to see more of Flynn's gritty Boston--and Eddy Harkness.""--Publishers Weekly, " starred review
