Publisher's Summary

The master of the new noir, Dennis Lehane magnificently evokes the dignity and savagery of working-class Boston in this terrifying tale of darkness and redemption.

Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro's latest client is a prominent Boston psychiatrist running scared from a vengeful Irish mob. The private investigators know something about cold-blooded retribution. Born and bred on the mean streets of blue-collar Dorchester, they've seen the darkness that lives in the hearts of the unfortunate. But an evil for which even they are unprepared is about to strike as secrets long-dormant erupt, setting off a chain of violent murders that will stain everything - including the truth.

Literary thriller

If you like to read a good thriller with beautifully turned sentences, well-drawn characters, a complex plot, that’s also foregrounded by existential themes pick up a Denise Lehane. If you like mediocre writing, cliched dialogue that rambles on, and pads the pages, or simplistic plots, read any number of other bestselling mystery writers.
