About the novel

Part murder mystery, part political thriller, Rock Creek is an epic work of historical fiction set in Washington, D.C. It's the most important city in the world in 1952, but at its heart it's still a small Southern town deeply divided along race and class boundaries. With big themes, bigger characters, and enduring spirit, Rock Creek expertly weaves an evocative tale in small, ineffable moments, telling the story of what happens to those who try to cross D.C.’s dividing lines. Emily Rose is a beautiful Capitol Hill staffer with a tragic past, rooted in the Holocaust, that she can never quite seem to escape. She's dumped and abandoned in Rock Creek Park, a lush urban wilderness with its own haunted history. Shane Kinnock is a homicide detective at the lowest point of his life and career, still shell-shocked from the war and scarred by loss. He sees the prospect of redemption in the mystery of Emily’s death, but he'll find that her story draws him close to insanity.

Praise for "Rock Creek"

"Flynn combines the best of noir detective fiction with spartan, affecting prose . . . Flynn’s writing
also drives the story of a young woman with a tortured past and intertwines it with the protagonist’s determination to solve the mystery of her death. Overall, it’s a riveting whodunit with surprising twists that call to mind the works of Raymond Chandler. An affecting and compelling crime novel."

- KIRKUS REVIEWS

"'ROCK CREEK' is more than a great crime thriller. 'ROCK CREEK' is a glimpse of the true Washington, D.C. in the post atom bomb days that created and still propel our current times. Kevin Flynn has done a wonderful service to readers everywhere by creating fiction that reveals truths."

- JAMES GRADY
author of "SIX DAYS OF THE CONDOR" and "THE SMOKE IN OUR EYES"

“When disgraced detective Shane Kinnock’s investigation of a skull recovered in Rock Creek Park yields more questions than answers, he becomes ensnared in a web of corruption and deceit from which few will be spared. Set in Washington D.C. in the 1950s, and at the cusp of the civil rights movement, 'ROCK CREEK' is both a heart-warming and heartbreaking mystery. A must read.”

- DAVID SWINSON
author of "THE SECOND GIRL" and "SWEET THING"

"Kevin Flynn's 'ROCK CREEK' is a riveting tale of murder and justice, race and class, power and corruption. Vivid and propulsive, 'ROCK CREEK' transported me back to an era in the nation's capital when Washington, D.C., emerged from wartime as the most important city in the world and yet remained a stubbornly small Southern town. I could hear and see and smell that bygone Washington as I read this book. But it's the characters Flynn brings to life that stay with me, a cast of devilishly complicated and unforgettable figures whose voices I still hear in my head. I couldn't put this book down."
