First published 2009
In Boston's neighborhoods, the streets run deep with secrets. A grieving father seeks vengeance. A woman vanishes, leaving only a trail of unanswered questions. A detective's hunt for the truth leads him through a labyrinth of corruption. Lehane weaves a tapestry of interlocking stories that expose the city's seedy underbelly, where no one is safe and every action has consequences. At the heart of it all is the human need for connection, for redemption, for something to hold onto when the world comes crashing down.
