See all titles by Brian McGrory.
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.
