– Wallace Stroby

But he’s lost his gun, his reputation, everything. Dive deep into a gritty world of wronged heroes, corrupt politicians, and sinister kingpins, where your friends can’t be trusted, a sleepy town breeds deadly crimes, and nothing ever happens by accident.

 “A terrific debut…impressive, stylish, sophisticated. Readers will want to see more of Flynn’s gritty Boston – and of Eddy Harkness.”
– Publishers Weekly (starred review) 

“Things heat up and bodies turn up in this high-powered police thriller.”
– Library Journal

“Third Rail is an adrenaline-soaked tale of political corruption and personal redemption that never lets up. Eddy Harkness, the self-destructive Massachusetts narcotics detective at the novel’s center, is a worthy successor to Robert B. Parker’s Jesse Stone.”
– Sean Chercover, author of The Trinity Games

Two warring guilds struggle to survive in a world where natural disaster has become commonplace. Picking up where A Clockwork Orange and On The Beach left off, Printer’s Devil searches for remnants of humanity in an extreme post-apocalyptic landscape. A fable in the spirit of Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians, Printer’s Devil is a meditation on power and its abuses that echoes with disturbing parallels to the present.

“A wonderfully dark, dystopian tale set in a world where excessive consumerism has led to an environmental collapse.”
- The Independent on Sunday

“Compulsively readable but also incredibly thought-provoking, thrilling but also highly perceptive, this is everything a modern novel should be." - The List

“A bleak and disturbing tale. Right from the opening torture scene you are knocked sideways and never really given the chance to recover."
- Scott Pack, The Friday Project

“With its abuses of power, violence, and its own language, Printer’s Devil naturally draws comparisons to A Clockwork Orange.” - Newham Recorder
