Moonlight Mile de Dennis Lehane

Moonlight Mile: William Morrow & Company

Autor Dennis Lehane
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 apr 2024

Poate o decizie corectă din punct de vedere moral să distrugă viața unui copil? Aceasta este întrebarea care îi bântuie pe Patrick Kenzie și Angela Gennaro în Moonlight Mile. Ne întoarcem în Boston. Amanda McCready, fetița a cărei dispariție a marcat începutul carierei lor, a dispărut din nou. Are șaisprezece ani acum. Este genială, dar izolată. Trecutul revine cu o forță brutală. Descoperim aici un oraș neschimbat, cu baruri insalubre și secrete îngropate adânc în cartierele muncitorești. Ritmul este alert. Tensiunea crește cu fiecare pagină. Dacă Gone, Baby, Gone v-a captivat prin dilema etică sfâșietoare a salvării unui copil dintr-un mediu toxic, această carte extinde experiența în direcția consecințelor pe termen lung și a ispășirii. Găsim în această lucrare aceeași rigoare a observației sociale pe care autorul a șlefuit-o în A Drink Before the War, dar cu o maturitate narativă superioară. Spre deosebire de explorările istorice din Live by Night sau tensiunea psihologică izolată din Shutter Island, aici miza este personală. Este despre vinovăție. Este despre promisiuni făcute acum douăsprezece luni sau doisprezece ani. Kenzie și Gennaro nu mai luptă doar cu criminalii, ci cu propriile lor fantome. O luptă disperată pentru a rescrie un final care a lăsat răni deschise. Întunericul este dens, iar soluțiile sunt aproape imposibile.

Descriere scurtă

New York Times Bestseller
This “taut, reflective”* sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone is an explosive tale of integrity and vengeance from the acclaimed master of the new noir, New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane.
*Dallas Morning News
Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a Boston suburb in 1997. Desperate pleas for help from the child’s aunt led savvy, tough-nosed investigators Kenzie and Gennaro to take on the case. The pair risked everything to find the young girl—only to orchestrate her return to a neglectful mother and a broken home.
Now Amanda is sixteen—and gone again. A stellar student, brilliant but aloof, she seemed destined to escape her upbringing. Yet Amanda’s aunt is once more knocking at Patrick Kenzie’s door, fearing the worst for the little girl who has blossomed into a striking, clever young woman who hasn’t been seen in two weeks.
Haunted by the past, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the case that troubled them the most, following a twelve-year trail of secrets and lies down the darkest alleys of Boston’s gritty, blue-collar streets. Assuring themselves that this time will be different, they vow to make good on their promise to find Amanda and see that she is safe. But in their desperate fight to rewrite the past, Kenzie and Gennaro will face an evil that goes beyond broken families, hearts, and dreams—a darkness at the heart of an impossible decision the two investigators made long ago.

Recenzii

“Nobody pokes his nose into the crummy apartments and seedy bars and trash-packed alleys and emotional messes of lower-class life with more observational rigor than Lehane. . . . Moonlight Mile flies at you fast and sinks its hooks into you for keeps. . . . Lehane’s writing, as always, is tight, vivid and brilliantly assured.” — Chicago Tribune
“Unlike the usual sequel writer who simply puts old creations through new paces, Mr. Lehane registers a deep affection for the Kenzie-Gennaro team and a passionate involvement in their problems. And he treats each book in this series as an occasion for wondering what kind of world can produce the depravity that each new plotline describes. . . . So Patrick and Angie follow the bread-crumb trail of clues and suspects, giving Mr. Lehane many occasions to write acid-etched dialogue and show off his fine powers of description.” — New York Times
“In many ways, the novel is an homage to happy family life. It’s a deft delivery system for a story that mixes guts, betrayal and the importance of good values. It’s also a sublime love story about what really matters in the grand scheme of things.” — USA Today
“Throughout, Lehane’s writing mixes the streetwise and the lyrical. . . . Elsewhere, an extended metaphor aches with confusion and loss - not just the core characters’ but that of a larger community, perhaps America itself. . . . Lehane has made quantum leaps as a craftsman. . . . Lehane is a writer bringing new confidence and an easy prowess to a new chapter in an epic story—the Kenzie-Gennaro saga” — Washington Post
“For fans of the Boston-based detective couple—a blue-collar Nick and Nora Charles, putting their relationship to the test in the face of thugs and bums, ethical dilemmas, and a balance-challenged checking account—the return is more than welcome. . . . The plot of Moonlight Mile—a title taken from the Jagger/Richards song—is mapped out with Hammett-like precision, but as with Hammett (and Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald and Charles Willeford), when Lehane’s on his game, it isn’t the plot that matters. It’s the characters, and the smart, hard-boiled prose.” — Philadelphia Inquirer

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane delivers an explosive tale of integrity and vengeance—heralding the long-awaited return of private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro.
Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a Boston neighborhood. Kenzie and Gennaro risked everything to find her—only to orchestrate her return to a neglectful mother and broken home.
Amanda, now sixteen, is gone again.
Haunted by their consciences, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the case that troubled them the most. Their search leads them into a world of identity thieves, methamphetamine dealers, an unstable crime boss and his demented wife, a priceless artifact, and a Russian gangster. In their fight to confront the past and find Amanda, Kenzie and Gennaro will be forced to question if it's possible to do the wrong thing and still be right or do the right thing and be wrong.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Sixteen-year-old Amanda McCready has disappeared. Her anxious aunt contacts Patrick Kenzie to investigate. It is not the first time she has gone missing, as Patrick well knows - he was the investigator who worked on her case when she was kidnapped before, as a four-year-old.

But this is not a simple case of a runaway girl. In fact, nothing in Amanda's life has been simple: brought up by the world's worst mother, neglected throughout her childhood, she has nonetheless blossomed into a formidably intelligent young woman. A young woman so bright that she can seemingly out-think and out-manoeuvre anyone...

For Patrick, the case leads him down Boston's darkest, most dangerous streets - and into a world of shocking secrets that will threaten not only Amanda's life, but also his own and that of his partner Angie Gennaro.
