Every Hidden Thing

Praise

Praise for Every Hidden Thing:
“A rich, reeking, ambitious study of an urban jungle that could be Everytown. More, please.”
–Kirkus Reviews

“A captivating, stylish, literary/noir mashup!”
–New York Journal of Books

“Every Hidden Thing is a subtle powerhouse of a novel that combines the best of James Ellroy’s noir cityscapes with the narrative impulses of Dennis Lehane. The story of Thomas Archer, an EMT who’s haunted by his past and threatened by those who embody it, is like the dirty, crooked city in which this novel is set: inescapable, pervasive, atmospheric. Ted Flanagan is a powerful and undeniably gifted writer, and his debut novel proves it.”
—Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author 

“This is a righteous, hard-charging, bell-ringing, mother-……. debut novel!!!!!”
—James Ellroy, New York Times bestselling author

“A terrific, beautifully written debut that rings with authenticity. Flanagan’s intriguing, gritty tale of corrupt politicians, even worse cops, messy family relationships, and the daily cycle of hope and despair playing out on the Blue-collar streets of Worcester had me rooting for Thomas Archer until the very last page. Fans of Dennis Lehane and Michael Harvey will devour this book.”
—Jane Haseldine, author of the Julia Gooden mysteries

“Every Hidden Thing centers the notion of power and madness as communicable diseases with media as a carrier. Flanagan’s prose unspools like a particularly brutal lucid dream.”
—Laird Barron, author of Swift to Chase
