Big city politics, nasty secrets, a dirty cop, and a deranged sociopath set the stage for a riveting journey deep into the urban jungle. The last scion of a once-powerful political family, Worcester mayor John O' Toole has his sights set on vastly higher aspirations. When night shift paramedic Thomas Archer uncovers a secret that could upend the mayor' s career, O' Toole is set on silencing him, and sends Eamon Conroy, a brutal former cop, to ensure the truth remains under wraps. But O' Toole doesn' t stop there. With bribes, buried secrets, and personal attacks, he wreaks havoc on Archer' s life in an attempt to save himself. Archer' s troubles continue to mount when domestic terrorist and militia member Gerald Knak, who blames Archer for his wife' s recent death, sets in motion a deadly plan for revenge. With two forces of evil aligned against him, Archer doesn' t stand a chance. But things aren' t always what they seem--and he may just have a few tricks up his sleeve in a last gambit to get out alive.
Praise for Every Hidden Thing: "A rich, reeking, ambitious study of an urban jungle that could be Everytown. More, please. " -Kirkus Reviews "Every Hidden Thing is a subtle powerhouse of a novel that combines the best of James Ellroy' s noir cityscapes with the narrative impulses of Dennis Lehane. The story of Thomas Archer, an EMT who' s haunted by his past and threatened by those who embody it, is like the dirty, crooked city in which this novel is set: inescapable, pervasive, atmospheric. Ted Flanagan is a powerful and undeniably gifted writer, and his debut novel proves it. " -Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author "This is a righteous, hard-charging, bell-ringing, mother-. . . . . . . debut novel!!!!!" -James Ellroy, New York Times bestselling author "A terrific, beautifully written debut that rings with authenticity. Flanagan' s intriguing, gritty tale of corrupt politicians, even worse cops, messy family relationships, and the daily cycle of hope and despair playing out on the Blue-collar streets of Worcester had me rooting for Thomas Archer until the very last page. Fans of Dennis Lehane and Michael Harvey will devour this book. " -Jane Haseldine, author of the Julia Gooden mysteries "Every Hidden Thing centers the notion of power and madness as communicable diseases with media as a carrier. Flanagan' s prose unspools like a particularly brutal lucid dream. " -Laird Barron, author of Swift to Chase
