Book description
Nothing much happens in Versailles, Maine. Until a body is found in a
cabin up by the lake. The dead man turns out to be from the Boston
DA's office, a prosecutor who had been investigating a series of
gang-related murders in that city. Ben Truman, Chief of Police, heads
down to Boston to follow the few fragile leads he has in the case. Not
welcomed by the police there, he knows he really should get the
message and disappear back to the sticks. Big city crime is way beyond
anything he's ever dealt with before.
But still Truman refuses to let it go. With the help of a retired
cop who knows all the angles, he becomes embroiled in an investigation
which has its roots in a sequence of deaths which began twenty years previously...
William Landay was born and raised in Boston, where he now lives with
his wife and son. A graduate of Yale University and Boston College Law
School, he served for six years as an assistant district attorney before
turning to writing.
Mission Flats
is his first novel.
