As his pursuit uncovers the unimaginable, he is led into a world of criminal conspiracy, a secretive pharmaceutical firm, and an odd local clergyman who may be either a miracle worker or a madman. And while caring for his disabled son, he must fight to maintain control of an investigation in which more and more people--from the state police to the district attorney to a tenacious Boston reporter--are taking a serious interest.\n\n As facts become murkier and the threat rises, Warren struggles to survive in a world where the police can be just as corrupt as the criminals they chase, and where a murder inquiry will ultimately lead to his front door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Europa Editions, 2016","offers":[{"title":"Lesser Evils \/ Very Good","offer_id":53574389924132,"sku":"9781609453107VG","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_33158f7f-7a31-45c6-909c-a9532aaddbf3.jpg?v=1781793292","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9781609453107","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
