Darkness, Take My Hand Darkness, Take My Hand

Publisher Description

Master of new noir Dennis Lehane magnificently evokes the dignity and savagery of working-class Boston in Darkness, Take My Hand, a terrifying tale of redemption.

Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro’s latest client is a prominent Boston psychiatrist, running scared from a vengeful Irish mob. The private investigators know about cold-blooded retribution. Born and bred on the mean streets of blue-collar Dorchester, they’ve seen the darkness that lives in the hearts of the unfortunate.

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.

Great

5 Stars. Wow! That was really fantastic. It’s been at least ten years since I read the first and I have no idea what took me so long to get to the second Kenzie and Genero book. Lehane was masterful here. He created pure evil and really stressed the good guys more than I’ve seen in a book, maybe ever. In need to put this series in a much more frequent rotation.

Completed

a re-read today. This one was better than remembered. Gonna read the others this Spring.

Another Lehane hit

Lehane delivers a taut, chilling thriller full of nasty characters, a brooding hero and snappy sarcasm.
