Mission flats
(Book)

"By a placid lake in western Maine, outside a sleepy town called Versailles, a man's body lies sprawled in a deserted cabin. The dead man was an elite D.A. from Boston, and his beat was that city's toughest neighborhood: Mission Flats. For Versailles police chief Ben Truman, investigating the murder will mean leaving his quiet, haunted home--and journeying to an alien world of hard streets and hard bargains. Ben joins a manhunt through Boston, where cops have zeroed in on a suspect. But he soon suspects the man is innocent--especially when he uncovers a secret history of murder and retribution stretching back twenty years. And as past and present collide, one thing remains certain: the most powerful revelations are yet to come."--from cover, p. [4]
