"[Lehane has] emerged from the whodunit ghetto as a broader and more substantial talent.... When it comes to keeping readers exactly where he wants them, Mr. Lehane offers a bravura demonstration of how it's done." -- New York TimesMoonlight Mile is the first Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro suspense novel in more than a decade from the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling master of the new noir, Dennis Lehane. An explosive tale of vengeance and redemption -- the brilliant sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone -- Moonlight Mile returns Lehane's unforgettable and deeply human detective duo to the mean streets of blue collar Boston to investigate the second disappearance of Amanda McCready, now sixteen years old. After his remarkable success with Mystic River, Shutter Island, and The Given Day, the celebrated author whom the Washington Post praises as, "one of those brave new detective stylists who is not afraid of fooling around with the genre's traditions," returns to his roots -- and the result, as always, is electrifying. |
