Gone, Baby, Gone: A Novel

In this “absolutely gripping”
(Chicago Tribune) thriller, New York Times bestselling author
Dennis Lehane vividly captures the complex beauty and darkness of working-class
Boston.

The tough neighborhood of
Dorchester is no place for the innocent or the weak. Its territory is defined
by hard heads and even harder luck; its streets are littered with the detritus
of broken families, hearts, and dreams.

Now one of its youngest is
missing. Private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro don’t want the
case. But after pleas from the child’s aunt, they open an investigation that
will ultimately risk everything—their relationship, their sanity, and even
their lives—to find a little girl lost.
