A Drink Before the War A Drink Before the War

Publisher Description

The mesmerizing, darkly original novel that heralded the arrival of now New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane, the master of the new noir—and introduced Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro, his smart and tough private investigators weaned on the blue-collar streets of Dorchester.

A cabal of powerful Boston politicians is willing to pay Kenzie and Gennaro big money for a seemingly small job: to find a missing cleaning woman who stole some secret documents. As Kenzie and Gennaro learn, however, this crime is no ordinary theft. It's about justice, about right and wrong. But in Boston, finding the truth isn’t just a dirty business . . . it’s deadly.

TigersJC86 ,

A tough but good read

This was a difficult read dealing with very difficult topics and issues regarding race and politics. I wouldn’t recommend this if you are squeamish and even if you aren’t it’ll still bother you. I do give credit to the author for making this a very lived in feel and I can picture the actors in Gone Baby Gone perfectly in the characters.

The times we find ourselves in.

Well written chronicle of how we got to where we are with hints of what has to be done to be better.

A actually , it was much better to being merely well written.
