About this item

"Third Rail gets off to a ripping start and never lets off the gas." - Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins At crime scenes, Eddy Harkness, the "Harvard Cop," is a human Ouija board, a brilliant young detective with a knack for finding the hidden something - cash, drugs, guns, bodies. Harkness's swift rise in an elite narcotics unit is derailed by the death of a young Red Sox fan in the chaos after a World Series win, a death some camera-phone-wielding witnesses believe he could have prevented. Scapegoated, Eddy is exiled to his hometown, Nagog, just outside Boston, where he empties parking meters and struggles to redeem his disgraced family name. But one night Harkness's police-issued Glock disappears. Harkness starts a search - just as a string of fatal accidents in Nagog lead him to uncover a dangerous new smart drug, Third Rail.
