Title: Gone, Baby, Gone Author: Dennis Lehane Description: The tough neighborhood of Dorchester is no place for the innocent or the weak. A territory defined by hard heads and even harder luck, its streets are littered with the detritus of broken families, hearts, 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.

Reviews James Patterson: Gone, Baby, Gone is a tough, true, powerful story written by a stunningly good novelist, one of our very best.

The Washington Post: In Gone, Baby, Gone ... [Lehane] once again features his blue-collar duo of P.I.s, Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, here searching for a missing 5-year-old girl, against the wishes of the stonewalling Boston police, and delving into a world of drug deals gone bad, corrupt cops, and child molesters. It's powerful and raw, harrowing and unsentimental.

The Wall Street Journal: Compelling ... just the way we like it. When it comes to describing the action, Mr. Lehane delivers big time.

The Boston Globe: [D]elightful reading ... Lehane is adept not only at describing situations but at creating them.
