Praise for Dark Horse

Eddy Harkness is a welcome addition to the Boston crime scene, and Rory Flynn is a terrific writer who knows how to spin a yarn with grit and confidence. Dennis Lehane, author of World Gone By

Rich in character, riveting in storytelling, and fierce in feeling, Dark Horse is both a crackling crime novel and a tough-yet-tender love song to a city. And, with the bruised yet buoyant Eddy Harkness, Rory Flynn has given us a series not to be missed. Megan Abbott, author of The Fever

Sleek, stylish, and bristling with punk-rock attitude, Rory Flynn s Dark Horse is an utter joy from start to finish. Flynn s wicked wit, live-wire plot, and knack for creating memorable, nuanced characters is guaranteed to hook. I can t wait for my next Harkness fix. Chris Holm, author of The Killing Kind

Like its hero, punk-rocker-turned-narcotics-cop Eddy Harkness, Dark Horse is gritty, smart, compassionate, and wicked funny. Flynn s sharp eye for Boston in sunshine and shadow is matched only by his deep love of the city and its people. Wallace Stroby, author of the Crissa Stone series

As stylish as Parker, as tough as Lehane a beautifully written, hip, and heartbreaking tale of Boston s dark side. Hank Phillippi Ryan

When a late-summer hurricane slams into Boston, Detective Eddy Harkness and his Narco-Intel crew are thrown into the eye of a very different kind of storm. Dark Horse an especially pure and deadly brand of heroin has infiltrated the gritty Lower South End. Harkness soon finds that the drug is also at the center of an audacious land grab by the city s corrupt new mayor and his shadowy power brokers. Meanwhile, Lower South End residents displaced by the storm use an obscure bylaw to take refuge in Eddy s hometown, and soon enough tensions are running high along its quaint tree-lined streets as well.

Fast-paced and atmospheric, Dark Horse moves from dive bars to Harvard dorm rooms to the city s elite social clubs, as Harkness puts everything at risk his department, his nascent family, and his life to try to derail the seemingly unstoppable conspiracy before it s too late.
