They also get the idea that nothing in the case is as it seems. The case takes them to Florida where even pallid Patrick gets a tan. Stone but as the story develops the kidnapping seems like small potatoes. Gives you some idea of the ruthlessness of Mr. He chose Kenzie and Gennaro for the job and when he couldn’t get them by telephone or letter he kidnapped them. Except Jay has now gone missing and Trevor still needs to find his daughter.

Jay Becker had been Patrick’s mentor and Patrick knew he could find almost anyone. Then Desiree disappeared and Trevor hired another investigator to find her.

Stone’s wife was killed in a car-jacking Trevor was injured and then was diagnosed with terminal cancer and their daughter Desiree got involved with a grief counsellor. It’s all good though because they get offered a lucrative job of finding a missing person by rich business magnate Trevor Stone. He really is off his game because he gets assaulted and drugged (as does Angela). Patrick being the smart ass he is goes over to confront his tail. They haven’t been working for a while because of their previous case which left both of them particularly Angie shocked and depressed. Then I was intrigued by the mystery and I hardly came up for air for two days.Patrick Kenzie and his partner Angie Gennaro are PIs based in Boston. Immediately I was captivated by the witty repartee. This book has been languishing on my TBR pile for many years but I recently picked it up. He just seems to have dropped off my radar in recent years. And the more Patrick and Angie discover, the more they realize that on this case, any wrong step will certainly be their last.It’s been a long time since I read anything by Dennis Lehane although I know I have liked the books I have read. Nothing is remotely what it seems as the detectives travel from the wind-blown streets of Boston to the rum-punch sunsets of Florida’s Gulf Coast and back again, searching for a woman and a man who could be saints or sinners, victims or victimizers, alive or dead. As Patrick and Angie begin their search, they are led down a trail of half-truths and corruption into a world in which a therapeutic organization may be fronting for a dangerous cult a hi-tech private investigation firm may be covering up lethal crimes and a stolen cache of millions in illegal funds may be tied to both disappearances and a tanker full of heroin. So has the first investigator Trevor Stone hired to find her: Jay Becker, Patrick’s mentor.

Grief-stricken over the death of her mother and the impending death of her father, Desiree Stone has been missing for three weeks. Dying billionaire Trevor Stone hires private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro to find his missing daughter.
