It introduced recurring characters such as Angelo Genaro and Patrick Kenzie. (Aug.Lehane’s very first novel, A Drink before the War was released in the year 1994. In all other respects, Lehane proves he belongs in the big leagues with another gritty and surpassingly entertaining mystery. Only Desiree's long-delayed entrance and an over-the-top ending are jarring. For most of the novel, the punishing pace and internal plot logic perform in perfect tandem. Is Trevor on the level? Is Desiree a wounded angel or something else entirely? While following the trail, Angie and Patrick emerge, in Patrick's smart and often funny narration, as boldly sketched characters who leap fully formed from the pages. After Price ripped off the group, Desiree vanished with him. The young woman was last seen at the highly questionable Grief Release Inc., getting over the year-old murder of her mother and hanging out with Sean Price. Billionaire Trevor Stone, dying of cancer, hires Patrick and Angie to find his daughter Desiree only after his first choice, Jay Becker, who was Patrick's mentor, disappeared during his quest for Desiree. Now the Boston-based sleuthing partners are recovering nicely, slowly succumbing to a mutual attraction and searching for a missing girl.
PI Angela Gennaro lost her husband, and her partner, Patrick Kenzie, lost much of the skin from his face in their last outing. Sharp verbal patter, a noirish kind of good/bad girl and a dying and quite possibly sinister old man all enliven this third stellar effort from the author of the Shamus Award-winning A Drink Before the War and Darkness, Take My Hand.
