Private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro know about the darkness that dwells in the rough streets of Dorchester--a darkness that has their client, a prominent psychiatrist, running scared from the vengeance of the Irish mob. But it is Death himself who bears down on them now, reaching out with cold, bloodstained fingers from 20 years ago to shake their world with a spree of violent, horrific murders that bear the unmistakable signature of a long-imprisoned psychopath. The master of the new \"noir,\" Dennis Lehane magnificently evokes the dignity and savagery of working-class Boston in this terrifying tale of darkness and 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 something 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 long-dormant erupt, setting off a chain of violent murders that will stain everything--including the truth.
