Buyer's Guide

A Drink Before The War

A winner of the highly acclaimed Shamus Award, A Drink Before The War is the first title featuring Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. Set against the gritty backdrop of downtown Boston, their first case seems to be relatively easy – finding a missing cleaning woman. But when the client is a highly influential U.S. senator, nothing is as simple as it first seems…

Darkness Take My Hand

Darkness Take My Hand is Dennis Lehane’s second entry featuring Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. This time their client is a prominent psychiatrist running scared from the vengeance of the Irish mob. But mafia threats may be child’s play compared to the real danger – a serial killer, dormant for two decades, who’s decided to hunt again…

Sacred

Sacred is the third title in the Kenzie and Gennaro series and might almost be called a comic cape, the Lehane way. It’s winter in Boston and a dying billionaire wants his missing daughter found. But too much money and too little time makes this case even more labyrinthine than the last.

Gone, Baby, Gone

In Lehane’s fourth Kenzie-Gennaro mystery, Patrick and Angie don’t want to take the case of a missing four-year-old girl. But after pleas from the child’s aunt, they embark on an investigation and ultimately risk losing everything – their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives – to find this little-girl-lost.

Prayers for Rain

When Kenzie and Gennaro return in Lehane’s fifth novel, Patrick has taken on the case of a woman targeted by a depraved stalker who slowly, methodically causes her to self-destruct. Now Kenzie and Gennaro must begin a psychological battle against a master sadist they can’t touch – a killer who knows their weaknesses, their loves – and is determined to tear their world apart.

Mystic River

When Jimmy Marcus’s daughter is found murdered, his childhood friend Sean Devine is assigned to the case. With his personal life unraveling, Sean’s investigation takes him back into a world of violence an pain he thought he’d left behind. It also puts him on a collision course with Jimmy Marcus – another childhood friend, now a man with his own dark past.

Shutter Island

Teddy Daniels and his partner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Multiple murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this remote and barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly down on them, a strange case takes on even darker, more sinister shades.
