In Mystic River, Dennis Lehane crafts a gripping tale of one family's tragedy and its enduring legacy. In the early 1960s, the youngest of four brothers, Kevin, moves with his family from Boston to the idyllic town of Southie. As the oldest, Kevin assumes the role of leader and protector, and he quickly establishes himself as a tough, fearless kid. But Kevin's world is turned upside down when his brother Mike is murdered. With the help of his friends, Kevin sets out to find his brother's killer. As Kevin closes in on the killer, the town's secrets come to light, and he must confront the demons of his past. Lehane brings to life the seedy underbelly of Southie, and the characters he creates are unforgettable. Mystic River is a suspenseful and masterfully written novel that will leave readers breathless.; 8vo; 401 pages.
