My good friend, Kevin Flynn has written a true crime
book to be released today (March 1, 2007) by the
major publishing company G.P.Putnam's Sons. His book is
already getting rave reviews from the big
shots of this genre Jonathan Harr (author of "A Civil
Action" -movie starred John Travolta and Robert Duvall) ,
George Pelecanos (best-selling crime novelist and
writer/producer of HBO's "The Wire") and
Ronald Kessler (prolific writer with books about
the FBI, CIA, Joseph Kennedy, the Bush administration, etc.),
to name a few.

In two decades as a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., Flynn has played a key role in the types of cases that make headlines and have come to dominate television's crime dramas.There was one case, however - the gruesome murder of a mother of six and one of her daughters in their own home in Washington - whose harsh reality he could never forget. In RELENTLESS PURSUIT, Flynn recounts how he partnered with an extraordinary team of police officers in two jurisdictions to bring a brutal killer to justice. RELENTLESS PURSUIT is the story of that journey to justice, an intensely gripping beat-by-beat reconstruction of the events as they unfold -- the murder, the arrest, the trial, the verdict -- told with astonishing candor, and providing a behind-the- scenes glimpse into the life of a dedicated prosecutor. Above all, it's about healing and community, a story in which, in the end, the system works and -- for once -- justice prevails. "RELENTLESS PURSUIT is everything you want in a true crime novel, but it's all true ... A page-turning read."
-- Washingtonian, March 2007
