Publisher's Summary

Former DA and rookie writer William Landay delivers a white-hot thriller. When a Boston DA is found brutally murdered in a lakeside cabin in rural Maine, local Police Chief Ben Truman is forced to head down to Boston to follow the few fragile leads he has in the case. From a retired Boston cop, he learns the ropes of big-city policing, and finds that it is a more corrupt and cynical endeavor than the job he's been doing back in Versailles, Maine. The search for the murderer will lead Ben to the highest echelons of the Boston Police Department, where the ghosts of past crimes haunt the present case, and Ben finds himself defending his own innocence while trying to uncover the truth about the murder.

What the critics say

“Tough but true: a first-time novelist has to bring something new to the table - something like the trumps that William Landay throws down in his high-stakes police procedural, Mission Flats.... Landay writes with eloquent intensity...about the no-win ethical choices that can corrupt or otherwise crush a good cop.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“You'll get everything you paid for in William Landay's debut thriller, Mission Flats.... Landay is a superb writer who can evoke visceral emotional reactions with skillful evocative prose.” (St. Petersburg Times)

“Landay's story is rife with nuanced characters and the gritty realism of street justice. His tale is reminiscent of his fellow Beantown writer Dennis Lehane, which is a true compliment.” (Rocky Mountain News)

No down time

I had not read this author or the teller before. At first, the reader seemed was a bit unnerving but his voice easily folded into the plot which is intricate but not tiresomely so. The plot moved ahead without contrivance and the characters all came to one in good time. Stellar and believable.
