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.
Customer Reviews
Darkness, take my hand
This was a great book but there were so many spelling and syntactical errors, I thought it took away from the experience. Did anyone proofread this book? It's a shame to get this quality from Apple. For example, every time a word is used that ends with "erence" as in conference, interference, etc., it was replaced with "eRenee" - so someone did a massive replace of "renc" with "Rene", an actual character in the book. Also, many paragraphs start with a quote, but then no closing quote and the opening quote was in error in the first place.
Gripping
Once you are introduced to Dennis Lehane's writing, it's hard not to get addicted.
This work also does a great job of depicting the life and subtleties of life in Boston neighborhood. Quite gripping in terms of plot. Couldn't put it down.
