Items related to Moonlight Mile
Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Isabelle Maillet. Douze ans après le douloureux épisode raconté dans Gone, Baby, Gone les détectives Angela Gennaro et Patrick Kenzie sont de nouveau confrontés à la disparition d’Amanda Mc Cready. Le cauchemar semble recommencer. Comme les cinq précédentes aventures de Kenzie et Gennaro, Moonlight Mile est un roman totalement contemporain qui dépeint une Amérique en proie à une grave crise morale et sociale. L’auteur de Mystic River et de Shutter Island n’a rien perdu de son art de la métaphore, des dialogues incisifs et des scènes choc. L’art de faire vibrer le lecteur à chaque page. « Une très fine observation de la société américaine. Beaucoup plus qu’un polar. Merveilleusement bien fait. » ― Anne Michaud, Radio-Canada « Un grand livre. Cruel. Lucide. » ― Michel Bélair, Le Devoir

Review:
Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: It’s tough going for a good man in a messed-up world, particularly in Dennis Lehane's Boston. Patrick Kenzie knows he did the right thing twelve years ago (during the events in Gone, Baby, Gone) when he located missing 4-year-old Amanda McCready and returned her to her neglectful mother, even though she would’ve been better off with her kidnappers. That doesn’t mean he’s had an easy time living with his decision. In Moonlight Mile, Patrick is still scraping by as a freelance PI, but now he’s married to his former partner Angie Gennaro and with a daughter of his own. When Patrick learns that once again Amanda McCready’s gone missing, his conscience gets the better of him and he's soon on the trail of the enigmatic 16-year-old, only to discover that the moral complexity of his work has not lessened with time. And neither has Lehane's talent as a top-notch crime writer. Much like a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, Lehane never fails to satisfy and the latest Patrick and Angie story is no less addictive. --Shane Hansanuwat
From the Back Cover:
Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from her blue-collar Boston neighborhood. Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro risked everything to find her, only to orchestrate her return to a neglectful mother and broken home. Twelve years later, Amanda, now sixteen, is gone again.
Still haunted by their consciences, Kenzie and Gennaro must now revisit the nightmare that once tore them apart. Following the trail of a lost teenager into a world of identity thieves, methamphetamine dealers, and Russian gangsters, they once again put everything that matters to them on the line in pursuit of an answer to a troubling question: Is it possible to do the right thing and still be dead wrong?
