Lehane, Dennis A Drink Before the War
HarperTorch July 1, 1996 0-380-72623-8 / 9780380726233 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover: In this first novel, set in Boston, violence swirls around narrator Patrick Kenzie and partner Angleo Gennaro. This intrepid investigative duo are hired by two state senators to locate a black cleaning woman who filched several sensitive "documents." They find her easily enough, but the items she took, which point to child prostitution and political corruption, cause gang warfare and murder. Lehane's minimal use of literary references helps establish character, as do his frequent allusions to child abuse and wife battering. Rough and tumble action for a high energy, likable pair.

Lehane, Dennis Gone, Baby, Gone: A Novel
HarperTorch May 1, 1999 0-380-73035-9 / 9780380730353 Paperback Very Good
Cheese Olamon, "a six-foot-two, four-hundred-and-thirty-pound yellow-haired Scandinavian who'd somehow arrived at the misconception he was black," is telling his old grammar school friends Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro why they have to convince another mutual chum, the gun dealer Bubba Rugowski, that Cheese didn't try to have him killed. "You let Bubba know I'm clean wh en it comes to what happened to him. You want me alive. Okay? Without me, t hat girl will be gone. Gone-gone. You understand? Gone, baby, gone." Of all the chilling, completely credible scenes of sadness, destruction, and betr ayal in Dennis Lehane's fourth and very possibly best book about Kenzie and Gennaro, this moment stands out because it captures in a few pages the ess ence of Lehane's success.

Lehane, Dennis Mystic River
Bantam January 17, 200 0-553-81222-X / 9780553812220 Paperback Near Fine
Dennis Lehane's Mystic River takes the material of the ordinary police proc edural thriller and shapes it into heart-break. As boys, Jimmy, Dave and Se an were friends, until one day Dave was abducted by two men pretending to b e cops, and was never quite the same again. As men, Dave is a damaged fanta sist, safe in a quietly happy marriage; Jimmy a retired criminal making a g ood respectable living for the sake of his children; and Sean is the homici de cop who finds himself investigating the murder of Jimmy's eldest daughte r Katie. This is not just a book about what becomes of the children who gro w into adults; it is about what happens to a neighbourhood when the rules c hange, when an old established working-class district acquires gentrified e spresso bars at one end and the beats of the city's most dangerous whores a t the other. It is also a book about the tragedy of all sudden violent deat hs; we never forget our sense of Katie as she was, dancing on the last nigh t of her life--she is never just the corpse here, never just the object of mourning and investigation.

Lehane, Dennis Sacred
HarperTorch June 1, 1998 0-380-72629-7 / 9780380726295 Paperback Near Fine
Dennis Lehane won a Shamus Award for A Drink Before the War, his first book about working-class Boston detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. Hi s second in the series, Darkness, Take My Hand, got the kind of high octane reviews that careers are made of. Now Lehane not only survives the dreaded third-book curse, he beats it to death with a stick. Sacred is a dark and dangerous updating of Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep, as dying billionair e Trevor Stone hires Kenzie and Gennaro to find his daughter, Desiree. Patr ick's mentor, a wonderfully devious detective named Jay Becker, has already disappeared in St. Petersburg, Florida, while working the case, so the two head there to pick up a trail. Desiree, of course, is nothing like the swe et and simple beauty described by her father, and even Chandler would have been amazed by the plot twists that Lehane manages to keep coming.

Lehane, Dennis Shutter Island
HarperTorch April, 2004 0-380-73186-X / 9780380731862 Paperback Very Good
Boston-area novelist Lehane has written a terrific suspense novel, an impre ssive follow-up to 2001's Mystic River. Shutter Island is off Massachusetts 's coast, an army facility turned hospital for the criminally insane. When a beautiful-and certifiably crazy-patient escapes, U.S. Marshal Teddy Danie ls and his partner, Chuck Aule, are called in to investigate. Embroiled in uncertainties and mystery, the two soon learn there's much more at stake th an simply finding one missing woman. Stechschulte gives a stirring performa nce. His portrayal of Daniels is convincing, and he reads the role with equ al parts poignancy and toughness. Stechschulte is particularly adept at rea ding dialogue. For example, one stormy night at the hospital, Teddy and Chu ck are playing cards with two of the hospital's workers. The quartet banter s, calling each other's bluffs and having a grand old time, yet tones of ra cism underlie the conversation. Stechschulte handles the dialogue well, dis tinguishing between each voice and varying the pace between rapid back-and- forth and thoughtful, drawn out remarks.
