Pacy and chilling, this powerful saga of gangster life and corruption in wartime America from the author of Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone has more twists than the Cresta run. Aficionados of the genre may be familiar with the argot and the violence. As a neophyte, I was alternately shocked and thrilled. It is not for the faint-hearted. Lehane's ending defies expectation and perhaps understanding. Never mind, it was a great read getting there.
