Hank Phillippi Ryan When a late-summer hurricane slams into Boston, Detective Eddy Harkness and his Narco-Intel crew are thrown into the eye of a very different kind of storm. Dark Horse an especially pure and deadly brand of heroin has infiltrated the gritty Lower South End. Harkness soon finds that the drug is also at the center of an audacious land grab by the city s corrupt new mayor and his shadowy power brokers. Meanwhile, Lower South End residents displaced by the storm use an obscure bylaw to take refuge in Eddy s hometown, and soon enough tensions are running high along its quaint tree-lined streets as well. Fast-paced and atmospheric, Dark Horse moves from dive bars to Harvard dorm rooms to the city s elite social clubs, as Harkness puts everything at risk his department, his nascent family, and his life to try to derail the seemingly unstoppable conspiracy before it s too late.
