Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

Dennis Lehane won a Shamus Award for A Drink Before the War, his first book about working-class Boston detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. His second in the series, Darkness, Take My Hand, got the kind of high octane reviews that careers are made of. Now Lehane not only survives the dreaded third-book curse, he beats it to death with a stick. Sacred is a dark and dangerous updating of Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep, as dying billionaire Trevor Stone hires Kenzie and Gennaro to find his daughter, Desiree. Patrick's mentor, a wonderfully devious detective named Jay Becker, has already disappeared in St. Petersburg, Florida, while working the case, so the two head there to pick up a trail. Desiree, of course, is nothing like the sweet and simple beauty described by her father, and even Chandler would have been amazed by the plot twists that Lehane manages to keep coming. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Library Journal

When detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro are kidnapped by dying billionaire Trevor Stone and forced to find his lost daughter, they become entwined in a vicious whodunit in which "up is down and north is south." The case takes them to Grief Release Inc., a Boston-area church/cult whose members purge their sins, secrets, and financial records; then, accompanied by Stone's henchmen, to Tampa, Florida, where a top-of-the-line sports car and all the money they can spend are put at their disposal. Kenzie and Gennaro ditch it all to continue the search on instinct in a cheap convertible. When the detectives finally find their prize, the perfecto, leggy Desiree Stone, she turns out to be much more than they bargained for. With its fast-paced plot, Lehane's (Darkness, Take My Hand, LJ 7/96) newest will be a winner with adventure buffs.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Mediocre, Juil 14 2004
Par Victoria (Honolulu, Hawaii) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Sacred Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Not bad but doesn't hold a candle to Robert Parker, Robert Crais or ev en Harlan Coben(who in my eyes is the true master of suspense). Story itself is interesting but gets more boring as the book goes on. Patrick has too many moral issues for a tough guy(which is what he is supposed to be) and he is always hell bent on doing the right thing(yawn!). Angela can't get over her issues with her husband who used to beat the crap out of her. Geez, get a grip already. Blah, blah, blah.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great read, Mars 28 2004
Par kate (DORCHESTER, MA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Sacred Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Though this book is a little less off-the-wall funny than his previous 2, it's also less violent. His writing gets quite poetic at times and I enjoy the twists and turns of the plot. If you live in Boston, Lehane's books are even more enjoyable because he's dead-on accurate with his depiction of neighborhoods, people, and events. The religious group he's talking about has just got to be the Moonies. I live in North Dorchester almost in the same neighborhood he describes and believe me it all rings true.

4.0étoiles sur 5 great, Janv. 15 2004

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sacred Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
great book, hilarious, more so than his others, true its slightly more light than his usual books but its still good
also to the guy who says that dylan has no album called positively 4th street. The guy in the book said "look for songs, not albums". So when they found positively 4th street it is because they were looking for the names of dylan SONGS. And yes, dylan has a song called that.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Lighter-hearted, but not quite a "comic caper"
I've seen this promoted as a "comic caper", and it rather starts that way. For Lehane, it is lighter and maybe it's as close to comic as he's capable of being. Read more
