Nothing is sacred
The Mystery of the Missing Woman
A beautiful young woman, destroyed by grief, has vanished without a trace. So has the detective hired to find her. And so has a great deal of money. Enter seasoned private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. Hailing from the tough streets of Boston's Dorchester neighbourhood, they've seen—and survived—just about everything. But this new case takes them into uncharted territory where nothing is sacred. A territory of lies and corruption, where trusting anyone could mean death and every step could be your last. This gripping story takes readers from the familiar setting of Boston to exotic Florida. Can Angela and Kenzie cut through the intricate web of lies surrounding the world of the truly rich and powerful? And are they even prepared for what they might uncover? This time, much more is at stake than just solving a mysterious case…
Dennis Lehane
One of America's most popular authors, not of detective stories, but of true crime novels. This descendant of Irish immigrants always knew he wanted to be a writer, even writing the first draft of his book at the age of 25 out of sheer boredom, though it ended up in a drawer at the time. Lehane had to go through clearing tables, parking cars, driving limousines, working in a bookshop, and even defending abused children before enrolling in a creative writing course. He rewrote his first manuscript several times until a publisher finally accepted it, and he became a bona fide author. The heroes of his popular Boston series are private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. However, after five instalments, the author wanted to try something new, which led to the international bestseller Mystic River. This brought Lehane fame and prestige, and its film adaptation, directed by Clint Eastwood, won two Academy Awards. After such staggering success, the author could afford to teach the very writing courses he once attended himself… He also joined the writers of the HBO crime series The Wire as a screenwriter, for which he, along with George Pelecanos and other creators, received an Edgar Award for Best Television Miniseries. The fourth book in the Kenzie/Gennaro series, Gone, Baby, Gone, was adapted into a film in 2007, directed by Ben Affleck.
