Kun Amanda McCready oli neljävuotias, hän katosi ja yksityisetsivä Patrick Kenzietä pyydettiin apuun. Patrick löysi Amandan ja toi tämän takaisin kotiin. Nyt Amanda on kuusitoista ja taas kateissa. Patrick Kenzie alkaa selvittää tapausta apunaan aisaparinsa Angela Gennaro sekä mystinen vihje, jonka mukaan "viisi ihmistä meni huoneeseen, kaksi kuoli, mutta neljä käveli ulos".Etsintöjen lomassa Patrick miettii, tekikö oikein palauttaessaan Amanda McCreadyn juopolle äidilleen kaksitoista vuotta aiemmin, eikä tälläkään kertaa oikean ja väärän raja ole täysin selvä. Patrick joutuu pohtimaan, kenen puolella hän lopulta tahtoo olla ja onko työ yksityisetsivänä kaiken vaivan ja vaaran arvoista.Kuutamomaili on itsenäinen jatko-osa Dennis Lehanen romaanille Muisto vain (1998, suomennettu 2007).Kenzie ja Gennaro esiintyvät lisäksi Dennis Lehanen kirjoissa Täyttä sotaa, Pimeyden kutsu, Koskematon ja Paahtavan taivaan alla."Lehane on yksi parhaita nykydekkaristeja. Hurja juoni imee mukaansa niin, että lukija nielee saarnan lähes yhtenä suupalana. Kadonnutta tyttöä tahollaan jahtaava mordvalaisgangsteri Jefim on huiminta, mitä tässä lajityypissä on katettu eteen pitkään aikaan." Juha Sihto, Aamulehti 27.11.2012"Lehane on erinomainen tarinankertoja. Muutamalla hyvin valitulla kielikuvalla hän kuvailee ympäristöä ja tunnelmaa ja kuljettaa kertomusta vetävästi eteenpäin. Juoni on yllätyksellinen, vaikka kirjailija ei pidäkään kaikkia ratkaisun avaimia piilossa, vaan antaa lukijalle tarinan edetessä hienovaraisia (ei kuitenkaan helppoja) viittauksia tulevista käänteistä. Kuutamomaili on samaa korkealaatuista jännityskirjallisuutta kuin sarjan edellisetkin teokset." Antti Turunen, Ruumiin Kulttuuri 2012/4

Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane delivers an explosive tale of integrity and vengeance—heralding the long-awaited return of private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a Boston neighborhood. Kenzie and Gennaro risked everything to find her—only to orchestrate her return to a neglectful mother and broken home. Amanda, now sixteen, is gone again. Haunted by their consciences, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the case that troubled them the most. Their search leads them into a world of identity thieves, methamphetamine dealers, an unstable crime boss and his demented wife, a priceless artifact, and a Russian gangster. In their fight to confront the past and find Amanda, Kenzie and Gennaro will be forced to question if it''s possible to do the wrong thing and still be right or do the right thing and be wrong.

The tough neighborhood of Dorchester is no place for the innocent or the weak. A territory defined by hard heads and even harder luck, its streets are littered with the detritus of broken families, hearts, dreams. Now, one of its youngest is missing. Private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro don''t want the case. But after pleas from the child''s aunt, they open an investigation that will ultimately risk everything—their relationship, their sanity, and even their lives—to find a little girl-lost.

Twaalf jaar geleden spoorden Patrick Kenzie en Angela Gennaro een verdwenen kind op, Amanda McCready, en gaven haar terug aan haar nalatige moeder. Het was een beslissing waar geen van beide speurders ooit vrede mee heeft gehad. Nu, twaalf jaar later, is Amanda McCready opnieuw verdwenen. Om haar te vinden kruisen Patrick en Angie het pad van een krankzinnige Russische gangster, zijn al net zo geschifte vrouw en hun opgewekte handlangers. Patrick en Angie zetten de achtervolging in en komen terecht in een duistere wereld van illegale adopties, identiteitsdiefstal en frauduleuze operaties.

El maestro de la nueva novela negra, Dennis Lehane, evoca magníficamente la dignidad y la brutalidad de la clase trabajadora de Boston en esta terrorífica historia de oscuridad y redención.

Los investigadores privados saben muy bien lo que significa una venganza a sangre fría. Nacidos y criados en las duras calles de la Dorchester obrera, conocen perfectamente la oscuridad que se esconde en los corazones de los desheredados. Pero no se imaginan que está a punto de aparecer un mal para el que no están preparados -la irrupción de un secreto largamente guardado-, que desencadenará una serie de violentos asesinatos. Incluso la misma verdad acabará siendo mancillada.

This New York Times bestseller from Dennis Lehane is a gripping, unnerving psychological thriller about the effects of a savage killing on three former friends in a tightly knit, blue-collar Boston neighborhood. When they were children, Sean Devine, Jimmy Marcus, and Dave Boyle were friends. But then a strange car pulled up to their street. One boy got into the car, two did not, and something terrible happened—something that ended their friendship and changed all three boys forever. Twenty-five years later, Sean is a homicide detective. Jimmy is an ex-con who owns a corner store. And Dave is trying to hold his marriage together and keep his demons at bay —demons that urge him to do terrible things. When Jimmy’s daughter is found murdered, Sean is assigned to the case. His investigation brings him into conflict with Jimmy, who finds his old criminal impulses tempt him to solve the crime with brutal justice. And then there is Dave, who came home the night Jimmy’s daughter died covered in someone else’s blood. A tense and unnerving psychological thriller, Mystic River is also an epic novel of love and loyalty, faith and family, in which people irrevocably marked by the past find themselves on a collision course with the darkest truths of their own hidden selves.

A beautiful, grief-stricken woman has vanished without a trace. So has the detective hired to find her. And a lot of money… Enter tough-nosed private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. Rooted in the streets of blue-collar Dorchester, they''ve seen it all – and survived. But this case leads them into unexpected territory: a place of lies and corruption, where trusting anyone could get them killed, and where nothing is sacred. Another superior thriller from Dennis Lehane, the bestselling and acclaimed author of Mystic River, Shutter Island, and Gone, Baby, Gone.

Now available with a contemporary look, a must-have collection of riveting short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island. “Locations are vivid and crisp, characters are memorable and, most importantly, the story lines dig into you and leave their mark.” —Boston Herald When it comes to contemporary crime fiction there’s no territory quite as dangerous and unpredictable as that of New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane. These five short stories and a play are Lehane at his visceral best. In “Running Out of Dog,” a vet returning from Vietnam is asked to redirect the violent skills he learned overseas to deal with his hometown’s rampant population of strays. “ICU” follows a hunted man who finds refuge in the oddest place imaginable. Surprises await a gang of Texas high-school football jocks who lay siege to a luxury home in the suburbs in “Gone Down to Corpus.” And in “Mushrooms,” a simple theft triggers a series of murders that forces a disillusioned young girl to consider her next move. This collection also includes “Until Gwen” and its stage adaptation, Coronado, which expands on the trenchant tale of a morally bankrupt conman father, his ill-fated son, and the woman they have in common. In Lehane’s capable hands, each story faces unflinchingly the darkest depths of the human experience—sin and redemption, loss and longing, flesh and blood—delivering a knockout punch that’ll have readers reeling.

But an evil for which even they are unprepared is about to strike, as secrets that have long lain dormant erupt, setting off a chain of violent murders that will stain everything – including the truth. With razor-sharp dialogue and penetrating prose, Darkness, Take My Hand is another superior crime novel from the author of Mystic River; Gone, Baby, Gone; and Shutter Island.
