From the March 8, 2007 Tucson (AZ) Citizen:

Kevin Flynn slams the literary ball out of the park during his very first time at bat. In his debut book, he documents the harrowing but inspirational story of how he - as a federal homicide prosecutor - brought a killer to justice. This is no simple story of a routine murder, however. It is written with such authenticity, it collars the reader and slams him in the back seat of a police cruiser for one of the most exciting true crime rides of the year.

The review concludes:

In his book, Flynn connects the dots that led from the murders to the conviction of Harrell. The twists and turns of the investigation, the courageous and resourceful work of the police officers and detectives who built the case, and the unique insights on legal strategies and tactics all make this an exceptional piece of crime reporting. Flynn humanizes Hawkins and her daughter and reveals how their family and neighbors grieved and, ultimately, coped during a time of unspeakable tragedy. This is a dramatic moment-by-moment account of a prosecutor's life as seen through the lens of a single case and a story that reaffirms the power of community and healing and of justice achieved. "Relentless Pursuit" reads like a thriller and is a book that only a seasoned prosecutor could have written.
