Everyone who had the pleasure of watching him in the courtroom knew that Kevin Flynn was an outstanding trial lawyer. In fact, he quickly rose to be chief of the homicide section in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office and had an amazing string of convictions that led to him being named that office's top trial lawyer. I knew that Kevin was also an outstanding writer but he will now have something other than Editor-in-Chief of the Bishop Ireton High School "BI Word" at the top of his writing resume! The entire world is about to see Kevin's amazing debut which has already become the most highly anticipated true crime novel of the year.
My good friend, Kevin Flynn has written a true crime novel to be released 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.
Book Description
If One L is the book to read before law school, Relentless Pursuit is the book to read after- a real-life legal thriller that shows, from the inside, a prosecutor's quest to deliver justice to a family devastated by murder.
What happened to Diane Hawkins and her daughter Katrina- a brutal double murder in which the girl's heart was cut from her body- devastated a Washington, D.C., community and left its mark on everyone involved in the subsequent investigation. Especially moved was federal homicide prosecutor Kevin Flynn. He had handled any number of grisly murders, and was no stranger to the depravity of the human soul. Yet the way Hawkins's family and friends rallied together to help each other through the tragedy- and the generosity they extended to Flynn, whose own father was dying of cancer at the time- turned this case into a personal mission. He was determined to use his position to effect real closure, to right a wrong- to bring justice on behalf of the victims and their families.
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 justice prevails.
About the Author
Kevin Flynn has been a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office since 1987 and recently served as chief homicide prosecutor. More importantly, he is godfather to Conor Battle and father of Bob Battle's godson, Connor Flynn.
Because of my obvious inside connections, I was able to obtain a pre-release copy of this riveting thriller (feel free to use that quote, Kev!) and was able to work out a deal to offer the book for sale at a discount for all pre-release purchases at Amazon.com.
