Description: "In Boston D.A., Sean Flynn tells the stories of the men and women who fight battles from the crime scenes to the courtrooms to the jailhouse cells. Flynn follows detectives who should be jaded into indifference, but instead slog through moldering cold case files and finally get their man with a mixture of slyness, science, and cigarette butts. He profiles the prosecutors who walk a moral tightrope in the thin space between justice and compassion when dealing with children who kill.

He examines the twisted world of sexual predators who were once young victims and seem condemned to endlessly repeat their crimes. Written in Sean Flynn's fast-paced, hard-boiled style, Boston D.A. is for everyone interested in the successes, failures, and riddles of American crime and punishment."--BOOK JACKET.
