My Books

Mission Flats
Winner of the John Creasey Memorial Dagger — the UK's leading literary award for debut crime novels — as best first novel of the year. "Tough but true: a first-time novelist has to bring something new to the table — something like the trumps that William Landay throws down in his high-stakes police procedural Mission Flats." - The New York Times

The Strangler
Boston, 1963. For the three Daley brothers, crime is the family business. They are just on different sides of it. Cop, lawyer, and thief, the brothers come together when the Boston Strangler strikes close to home. The Strangler was named one of the best crime novels of the year by The Los Angeles Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Kansas City Star, and England's Daily Telegraph. It was also nominated for the Strand Magazine Critics Award for Best Novel of the Year as judged by critics from America's leading newspapers.
