Rogue Island

A Rhode Island reporter's investigation of a series of arsons leads him down a deadly path in this Edgar Award–winning noir debut novel. "A tense, terrific thriller and a remarkably assured debut from . . . an author to watch." —Dennis Lehane, New York Times–bestselling author of The Given Day and Shutter Island Liam Mulligan is as old school as a newspaper man gets. His beat is Providence, Rhode Island, and he knows every street and alley. He knows the priests and prostitutes, the cops and street thugs. He knows the mobsters and politicians—who are pretty much one and the same. Someone is systematically burning down the neighborhood Mulligan grew up in, people he knows and loves are perishing in the flames, and the public is on the verge of panic. With the whole city of Providence on his back, Mulligan must weed through a wildly colorful array of characters to find the truth. "This tremendously entertaining crime novel is definitely one of the best of the year." —Booklist (starred review) "Rogue Island is a blast!" —Michael Connelly "A stunning debut in the noir tradition." —Harlan Coben "Not since Dennis Lehane's A Drink Before the War have I read a first novel as sure-handed." —James W. Hall "Fans of Michael Connelly and Robert B. Parker, rejoice!" —Peter Blauner
