This is the first of five crime novels featuring Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro as a PI duo in the tough neighborhoods of Boston. I worked backwards through the series and I think this one is the best. Gone Baby Gone, the last, was recently made into a movie, which was okay. Casey Affleck was too young and too wimpy for Patrick and Angela's character was reduced to bimbo, which she definitely isn't in the books.
My favorite Lehane book is Shutter Island, which is unlike anything you've ever read, and which I recommend to anyone who will listen. Scorsese is directing the movie with Leo DiCap as the lead so read it while you can.
