When a late-summer hurricane slams into Boston, Detective Eddy Harkness and his crew are thrown into the eye of a very different storm. Dark Horse, an especially deadly brand of heroin, is infiltrating the city – and only they can stop it.

Dark Horse, the much-anticipated second novel in the Eddy Harkness series, delivers a whirlwind tale that takes Boston crime into thrilling new territory.

“Rory Flynn is a terrific writer who knows
how to spin a yarn with grit and confidence.”
— Dennis Lehane

What they’re saying about Dark Horse:

“As stylish as Parker, as tough as Lehane. Completely entertaining! The talented Rory Flynn’s beautifully written, hip, and heartbreaking tale of Boston’s dark side deserves a standing ovation.”

— Hank Phillippi Ryan

“Rich in character, riveting in storytelling and fierce in feeling, Dark Horse is both a crackling crime novel and a tough-yet-tender lovesong to a city. With the bruised yet buoyant Eddy Harkness, Rory Flynn has given us a series not to be missed.”

— Megan Abbott

“Sleek, stylish, and bristling with punk-rock attitude, Rory Flynn’s Dark Horse is an utter joy from start to finish. Flynn’s wicked wit, live-wire plot, and knack for creating memorable, nuanced characters is guaranteed to hook. I can’t wait for my next Harkness fix.”

— Chris Holm

“Like its hero, punk-rocker-turned-narcotics-cop Eddy Harkness, Dark Horse is gritty, smart, compassionate, and wicked funny. Flynn’s sharp eye for Boston – in sunshine and shadow – is matched only by his deep love of the city and its people.”
