Publisher Review

'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' 'This is a righteous, hard-charging, bell-ringing, mother-....... debut novel!!!!!' -- James Ellroy, New York Times bestselling author 'Every Hidden Thing is a subtle powerhouse of a novel' -- Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author 'A captivating, stylish, literary/noir mashup!' -- C. C. Harrison * New York Journal of Books *
