Master of new noir Dennis Lehane magnificently evokes the dignity and savagery of working-class Boston in Darkness, Take My Hand, a terrifying tale of redemption.
In this gripping psychological thriller, Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro’s latest client is a prominent Boston psychiatrist, running scared from a vengeful Irish mob. The private investigators know 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 that have long lain dormant erupt, setting off a hunt for a serial killer that will stain everything — including the truth.
With razor-sharp dialogue and penetrating prose, Darkness, Take My Hand is another superior entry in his acclaimed private investigator series from the author of Mystic River; Gone, Baby, Gone; and Shutter Island.
Quotes by Dennis Lehane
From WikiquoteHate came in a maelstrom, and we called it several things—racism, pedophilia, justice, righteousness—but all those words were just ribbons and wrapping paper on a soiled gift that no one wanted to open.
I'm a detective, but nuns could stonewall Sam Spade into an asylum.
Vanity is a weakness. I know this. It's a shallow dependence on the exterior self, on how one looks instead of what one is. I know this well...Vanity and dishonesty may be vices, but they're also the first forms of protection I ever knew.
