Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane
delivers an explosive tale of integrity and
vengeance—heralding the long-awaited return of private
investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro
Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a
Boston neighborhood twelve years ago. Desperate pleas for
help from the child's aunt led investigators Kenzie and
Gennaro to take on the case. The pair risked everything to
find the young girl—only to orchestrate her return to a
neglectful mother and a broken home.
Now Amanda is sixteen—and gone again. A stellar student,
brilliant but aloof, she seemed destined to escape her
upbringing. Yet Amanda's aunt is once more knocking on
Patrick Kenzie's door, fearing the worst for the little girl
who has blossomed into a striking, clever young woman—a
woman who hasn't been seen in weeks.
Haunted by their consciences, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the
case that troubled them the most. Their search leads them
into a world of identity thieves, methamphetamine dealers, a
mentally unstable crime boss and his equally demented wife,
a priceless, thousand-year-old cross, and a happily
homicidal Russian gangster. It's a world in which motives
and allegiances constantly shift and mistakes are fatal.
In their desperate fight to confront the past and find
Amanda McCready, Kenzie and Gennaro will be forced to
question if it's possible to do the wrong thing and still be
right or to do the right thing and still be wrong. As they
face an evil that goes beyond broken families and broken
dreams, they discover that the sins of yesterday don't
always stay buried and the crimes of today could end their
lives.
