Summary: Dark and Believable, Frightening
Review: When they are asked to take the case of a missing four-year-old girl, private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angelo Gennaro are reluctant to take it, but because it's a child they pass on their better judgment and dive into the investigation.Before long they discover that everyone seems to have a secret and no one's talking, still they learn that it's a case all about money, what else, and they arrange a trade, however even though the rendezvous is well guarded, someone starts shooting and by the time it's all over Kenzie and Gennaro are luck to be alive. As always with a novel by Dennis Lehane, it's hard to figure out just who to root for. This chapter's good guy seems like that chapter's bad guy. Mr. Lehane takes us for a walk down to the dark side of human nature, painting people as real as the guy down at the local drug store, your mother-in-law, your husband. He takes off a character's wrapping, tells it like it is, makes you believe. Review submitted by Captain Katie Osborne
