Description:
Boston, 1976. Daniel Fitzsimmons is just sixteen years old and totally on his own--his parents are long dead, and his beloved brother, Harry, is off at Harvard, the star of the football team. When Harry is murdered, Daniel wrestles not only with inconsolable grief but with strange new powers he never knew he possessed. Powers he's not sure he can control.
Detectives "Bark" Jones and Tommy Dillon are assigned to Harry's case. The veteran partners thought they'd seen it all, but they are stunned when Daniel wanders into the crime scene. Even stranger, Daniel claims to have known the details of his brother's murder before it ever happened. The investigation leads the detectives deep into the Fitzsimmons brothers' own past. They find heartbreaking loss, sordid characters, and metaphysical conspiracies. Even on the rough streets of 1970s Boston, Jones and Dillon have never had a case like this.

Review Quotes:
"Pulse is the rare crime novel that makes you think and feel - deeply so on both counts. Harvey tells a gripping, richly-textured story that's full of characters who jump off the page and stay with you long after the book is over." - Lou Berney, Bestselling Author of The Long and Faraway Gone and November Road
"Harvey's lethal imagination is cranked to eleven in this one . . . his best yet by far. Superb!" - Lee Child
