Overview

"""[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 Times Moonlight 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."

Reviews

For fans of the Boston-based detective couple--a blue-collar Nick and Nora Charles, putting their relationship to the test in the face of thugs and bums, ethical dilemmas, and a balance-challenged checking account--the return is more than welcome. . . . The plot of Moonlight Mile--a title taken from the Jagger/Richards song--is mapped out with Hammett-like precision, but as with Hammett (and Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald and Charles Willeford), when Lehane's on his game, it isn't the plot that matters. It's the characters, and the smart, hard-boiled prose. --Philadelphia Inquirer In many ways, the novel is an homage to happy family life. It's a deft delivery system for a story that mixes guts, betrayal and the importance of good values. It's also a sublime love story about what really matters in the grand scheme of things. --USA Today Nobody pokes his nose into the crummy apartments and seedy bars and trash-packed alleys and emotional messes of lower-class life with more observational rigor than Lehane. . . . Moonlight Mile flies at you fast and sinks its hooks into you for keeps. . . . Lehane's writing, as always, is tight, vivid and brilliantly assured. --Chicago Tribune Throughout, Lehane's writing mixes the streetwise and the lyrical. . . . Elsewhere, an extended metaphor aches with confusion and loss - not just the core characters' but that of a larger community, perhaps America itself. . . . Lehane has made quantum leaps as a craftsman. . . . Lehane is a writer bringing new confidence and an easy prowess to a new chapter in an epic story--the Kenzie-Gennaro saga --Washington Post Unlike the usual sequel writer who simply puts old creations through new paces, Mr. Lehane registers a deep affection for the Kenzie-Gennaro team and a passionate involvement in their problems. And he treats each book in this series as an occasion for wondering what kind of world can produce the depravity that each new plotline describes. . . . So Patrick and Angie follow the bread-crumb trail of clues and suspects, giving Mr. Lehane many occasions to write acid-etched dialogue and show off his fine powers of description. --New York Times
