Master of new noir Dennis Lehane magnificently evokes the dignity and savagery of working-class Boston in Darkness, Take My Hand, a terrifying tale of redemption.

Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro's latest client is a prominent Boston psychiatrist, running scared from a vengeful Irish mob. The private investigators know about cold-blooded retribution. Born and bred on the mean streets of blue-collar Dorchester, they've seen the darkness that lives in the hearts of the unfortunate.

But an evil for which even they are unprepared is about to strike, as secrets that have long lain dormant erupt, setting off a chain of violent murders that will stain everything â?? including the truth.

With razor-sharp dialogue and penetrating prose, Darkness, Take My Hand is another superior crime novel from the author of Mystic River; Gone, Baby, Gone; and Shutter Island.… (més)

Kenzie is at his best attempting to track a murderer from his childhood. The gruesomeness of the killing is captured but he doesn't go over boar. Lehane's musing's as Kenzie fit the place and story well. Even the foreshadowing worked. The banter between K & Gennaro was forced at times but mostly it worked. I would like to see a K & G story w out an uber villain though this was subtle and had me guessing most of the way. Great sense of place. Almost a 5. ( )

Cuando los detectives Patrick Kenzie y Angela Gennaro aceptan proteger al hijo de una eminente psiquiatra de las posibles represalias de la mafia irlandesa, aparece crucificado el cadáver de una mujer. Recordando un caso similar ocurrido en el mismo barrio obrero de Dorchester, en Boston, Kenzie acude a un policía retirado que estuvo relacionado con la investigación. De aquel brutal crimen y de otros similares fue acusado un asesino en serie, que lleva desde entonces, veinte años, en la cárcel. ¿Acaso puede seguir matando?

Apparently, Dennis Lehane is the king of Boston noir. I wasn't even sure if that was a thing, but I Googled it, and it seems every hit had the name Dennis Lehane in it. Patrick Kenzie fits the bill perfectly, a wise-cracking, rough and tumble PI who is equally at home with police or the Irish Mob. In fact, his partner, Angela Gennaro, is the grandaughter of some famous mob boss, and the mob will think twice, at least, before allowing anyone to mess with her although she does a pretty good job of that herself.

Together, they make a rather formidable team, and if they ever get rid of their conscience, I wouldn't want to be on their bad side. But they do, and it sometimes gets them in trouble. Even when up against a monster killer, like in this book, they don't want to just shoot him down first chance they get; at least, Patrick doesn't. I'm not so sure about Angie sometimes.

The strangest thing about this story is how they seem to know almost everyone involved, from the police, the mob, the killer. Just one big happy family. Well, maybe not exactly happy. Patrick's father was pretty despicable but he's dead now.

There are a lot of characters in this book to keep up with. Some are gone now, but I'm going to move right into the next book while the names are fresh in my mind. ( )
