A Drink Before the War
Winner of the Shamus Award for crime fiction.
From the bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island.
Summer in Boston. The week before Independence Day. A city steeped in history and racial strife. A city about to be ripped apart by an unspeakable scandal and a raging gang war. Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro are tough private investigators who know the blue-collar neighbourhoods and ghettos of Boston's Dorchester section as only natives can. Working out of an old church belfry, Kenzie and Gennaro take on a seemingly simple assignment for a prominent politician: uncover the whereabouts of Jenna Angeline, a black cleaning woman who has allegedly stolen confidential Statehouse documents. But finding Jenna proves easy compared to staying alive.
"Starts with a bang and goes on shooting." - Publishers Weekly.
"A truly excellent thriller." - Telegraph.
