โLocations are vivid and crisp, characters are memorable and, most importantly, the story lines dig into you and leave their mark.โย โBoston Herald
When it comes to contemporary crime fiction thereโs no territory quite as dangerous and unpredictable as that of New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane. These five short stories and a play are Lehane at his visceral best.
In โRunning Out of Dog,โ a vet returning from Vietnam is asked to redirect the violent skills he learned overseas to deal with his hometownโs rampant population of strays. โICUโ follows a hunted man who finds refuge in the oddest place imaginable. Surprises await a gang of Texas high-school football jocks who lay siege to a luxury home in the suburbs in โGone Down to Corpus.โ And in โMushrooms,โ a simple theft triggers a series of murders that forces a disillusioned young girl to consider her next move. This collection also includes โUntil Gwenโ and its stage adaptation, Coronado, which expands on the trenchant tale of a morally bankrupt conman father, his ill-fated son, and the woman they have in common.
ย In Lehaneโs capable hands, each story faces unflinchingly the darkest depths of the human experienceโsin and redemption, loss and longing, flesh and bloodโdelivering a knockout punch thatโll have readers reeling.
