Publisher Description
Dennis Lehane returns to the streets of Mystic River with this love story wrapped in a crime story wrapped in a journey of faith—the basis for the major motion picture The Drop, from Fox Searchlight Pictures directed by Michaël Roskam, screenplay by Dennis Lehane, and starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and James Gandolfini.
Three days after Christmas, a lonely bartender looking for a reason to live rescues an abused puppy from a trash can and meets a damaged woman looking for something to believe in. As their relationship grows, they cross paths with the Chechen mafia; a man grown dangerous with age and thwarted hopes; two hapless stick-up artists; a very curious cop; and the original owner of the puppy, who wants his dog back. . . .
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Best-selling author Dennis Lehane finds hope amidst the darkness in this gripping novel. Stoic bartender Bob Saginowski leads a solitary life, until he finds an abandoned puppy just after Christmas—and inadvertently picks up a new girlfriend, Nadia, in the process. In the crosshairs of an abusive psycho, Chechen gangsters, and his shady Cousin Marv, Bob’s got 99 problems, even if the dog isn’t one. As always with Lehane, no one is entirely innocent, but with Bob, he’s crafted a protagonist who’s easy to root for—unlike his peers, he’s at least trying to avoid trouble. Lehane keeps the pacing tight, with not a word wasted. Quick and compact, The Drop delivers a crime story with a big heart.
