Editorial Review: Product Description: The master of the new noir, Dennis Lehane brilliantly interweaves beauty and violence, integrity and evil in this thrilling, powerfully resonant novel. A beautiful, grief-stricken woman has vanished without a trace. So has the detective hired to find her. And a lot of money. Enter saavy, tough-nosed private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. Rooted in the no-nonsense streets of Boston's blue-collar Dorchester, they've seen it all -- and survived. But this case leads them into unexpected territory where nothing is sacred -- a land of lies and corruption where trusting anyone could get them killed ... where taking any step could be their last. Amazon.com Review: 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. His 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 billionaire Trevor Stone hires Kenzie and Gennaro to find his daughter, Desiree. Patrick'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 sweet and simple beauty described by her father, and even Chandler would have been amazed by the plot twists that Lehane manages to keep coming. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - More twists, turns, and thrills than the best roller coasterMore twists, turns, and thrills than the best roller coaster Dennis Lehane always writes a good mystery. Sacred is one of his best. Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro are pushed to the limit in this exciting page turner. From Boston to Florida they prowl for the truth. Each time they think they have found it, it turns into another dead end. Hired by a very rich man to find his missing daughter, Patrick and Angela are thwarted at every turn to make sense out of this house of mirrors where ... Read More Rating: - Good, not greatThe first Dennis LeHane book I ever read was "Shutter Island" which I absolutely LOVED. What an jolt that story was. I followed it up by reading "Mystic River" which was also very good. I was expecting that same type of story/writing with this one and it just wasn't the same. I picked this up off a clearance rack for $1 not realizing it was the third in a series. Mr. LeHane does a good job of bringing you up to speed on the characters and I was able to enjoy the book even with skipping ... Read More Rating: - Characters are what makes the books in this series interesting.There are 5 books in this series of Dennis Lehane's with the charaters of Angie, Patrick and Bubba, the banter between these characters and the sarcasm of Patrick make this book along with the other four great reading, I had read the other 4 several years ago and could not find the 5th book in regular stores, luckily Amazon.com carried it and I was able to enjoy the characters once again. The story is very interesting and has a different twist in the end, not what you expect. It is fast reading and ... Read More Rating: - SacredAnother book by Dennis Lahane - ended up buying all I didn't have so that I can share with a friend of mine. The author takes you right to the Boston area and I stayed there until I finished the entire book. Bookseller service again was excellent. Rating: - good readinggood stuff you get to escape for a while patrick and angie are funny and you root for them hope lehane keeps the series rolling i love the shakespeare references Browse for similar items by category:
