This coming February look for Dennis Lehane's newest hardcover, Mystic River.

Prayers for Rain

Karen Nichols was pert, blonde, in love with her fiance and her life when Patrick Kenzie first met her. But six months later, she jumped naked from Boston's Custom House, leaving behind a downward spiral of drug abuse, depression, and sexual misadventure. She was an utterly different woman--and Kenzie wants to know why.

What he finds is almost incomprehensible: a depraved stalker who carefully targeted Karen and slowly, methodically, exploited her every weakness, stripped away all that mattered to her, and then watched her self-destruct. Now as Kenzie and his former partner Angela Gennaro begin a psychological battle against a master sadist the law can't touch, they discover he's starting to learn their weaknesses, their loves--and he's determined to tear their world apart.

"The well-oiled plot mechanics, edge-of-the-knife dialogue and explosive bursts of violence are polished and primed in this hard-boiled shocker."

Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review, 07/25/1999

"Once you've read this Lehane, you'll want to go out for the others. You know what's coming, but then again you don't."

Reamy Jansen, Bloomsbury Review, January 2000
