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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eIncludes an excerpt of \u003ci\u003eDefending Jacob\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A crackling debut that answers the question: Who will be the next Grisham?\"--\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003e(starred review) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"An inventive, gripping suspense debut . . .
