Thriller Political | Mystery Private Eye
Lauded by critics and Washington insiders alike for
his debut novel The Incumbent, and its national
bestselling sequel, The Nominee, Brian McGrory
returns with the third sensational thriller featuring
intrepid newspaperman Jack Flynn. For his entire
career, Jack Flynn has been like a heat-seeking missile in
pursuit of news, with the exclusive goal of splashing his
revelations on the pages of his beloved Boston
Record. But now he comes across a story that might be
the hardest -- and maybe the last -- of his life. Jack
is the recipient of an explosive tip involving Toby
Harkins, the fugitive leader of an Irish mafia and
estranged son of none other than Boston Mayor Daniel
Harkins. Toby also happens to be the prime suspect in the
heist of a dozen priceless treasures from the Gardner
Museum -- the largest unsolved art theft in American
history. But no sooner does the morning paper hit the
newsstands with Jack's shocking story than a beautiful
young woman, the mysterious whistleblower, is shot in the
head. As Jack digs into a conspiracy that winds from the
back rooms of City Hall to the genteel parlors of proper
Boston, he must come to terms with the fact that he has
caused an innocent's death, and that the FBI may be using
him in a deadly game of cat and mouse in which the players
involved aren't nearly who or what they seem. As a result,
Jack begins to question the integrity of the job to which
he has devoted his adult life. Engaging, suspenseful,
and crackling with newsroom energy, Dead Line once
again offers the kind of explosive action that's all in a
day's work for Jack Flynn, a hero whose dogged search for
truth may not last him until press time.
