A Chief of Police who is looking for a way out…a retired cop…and a murder which reaches back 20 years… The brilliant, award-winning novel from the author of DEFENDING JACOB

In a small town in Maine, nothing much happens. Even the Chief of Police, Ben Truman, is thinking about leaving. That is, until he discovers a body in a cabin up by the lake.

The dead man turns out to be a Boston prosecutor who had been investigating a series of gang-related murders. When Truman heads to the city to follow the few leads he has on the case, he is not welcomed by the local police – after all, big city crime is not something he has had any experience with.

But Truman refuses to let go of the case. With the help of a retired cop, he becomes embroiled in an investigation which reaches back to a killing 20 years ago…

Reviews

TIME OUT
An impressive and constantly surprising debut...the main plot twist knocks you sideways and there's more to come. A marvellous, unexpected novel
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
A most assured debut, cleverly plotted with an unguessable ending
GOOD BOOK GUIDE
In all the best thrillers - and William Landay's, like this new book, are among the best - it is crucial that we worry about the insuperable problems loaded on the shoulders of the central characters. Landay always handles that aspect with authority
NEW YORK TIMES
Landay writes with eloquent intensity...about the no-win ethical choices that can corrupt or otherwise crush a good cop
GUARDIAN
Compelling...marks the blooding of a major new talent, with shades of Scott Turow
NEW BOOKS MAGAZINE
What a read! I was really drawn into the storyline and expected a very different conclusion to the one I got! Fabulous! So many twists and turns and lies it makes you dizzy trying to keep up.
