Reviews
"His ability to create crystal clear portraits of humanity and then place them in the darker side of life is a writer's true gift." -- USA Today "I would follow Dennis Lehane anywhere." -- Lee Child "Once you pick up a Dennis Lehane novel, you're hooked. It's just that simple." -- Kristin Hannah "The publication of any Dennis Lehane novel calls for a celebration." -- Richard Price "Lehane writes expert, compelling thrillers that dive into mysteries much more universal and more urgent than just a whodunit; he's one of the game changers who smashed the imagined boundary between genre and literature, proving that we can have the best of both at once." -- Tana French "Dennis Lehane's Mystic River is perhaps the best crime novel in the English language." -- James Lee Burke "Lehane is a graceful writer, observant of the world that shapes his characters' lives." -- Washington Post "[Lehane's] work always combines pulp thrills with literary heart and sophistication." -- Entertainment Weekly "Dennis Lehane is a supernova and this is a novel that will throw your entire goddamn solar system out of alignment. Lehane has gone from strength to strength but never has he been more truthful, more heartbreaking, more essential. In the midst of our racial nightmare Small Mercies asks some of the only questions that matter: "What's gonna change? When's it gonna change? Where's it gonna change? How's it gonna change?" This book is impossible to put down and its dark radiances will stay with you a long, long time." -- Junot Díaz, "Small Mercies is thought provoking, engaging, enraging, and can't-put-it-down entertainment." -- Stephen King "Small Mercies is a jaw-dropping thriller, set in the fury of Boston's 1974 school-desegregation crisis, and propelled by a hell-bent woman who's impossible to ignore. Thought-provoking and heart-thumping, it's a resonant, unflinching story written by a novelist who is simply one of the best around." -- Gillian Flynn "Dennis Lehane is a supernova and this is a novel that will throw your entire goddamn solar system out of alignment. Lehane has gone from strength to strength but never has he been more truthful, more heartbreaking, more essential.

By a true master at the top of his game, Small Mercies is vintage Lehane. Beautiful, brutal, lyrical and blisteringly honest. Not to be missed." -- S.A. Cosby, bestselling author of Razorblade Tears and Blacktop Wasteland "Without flinching, Dennis Lehane shines a lantern on a dark story, one the reader will not forget." -- James Lee Burke, "His ability to create crystal clear portraits of humanity and then place them in the darker side of life is a writer's true gift." -- USA Today "I would follow Dennis Lehane anywhere." -- Lee Child "Once you pick up a Dennis Lehane novel, you're hooked.

Synopsis
Instant New York Times Bestseller " Small Mercies is thought provoking, engaging, enraging, and can't-put-it-down entertainment." -- Stephen King The acclaimed New York Times bestselling writer returns with a masterpiece to rival Mystic River --an all-consuming tale of revenge, family love, festering hate, and insidious power, set against one of the most tumultuous episodes in Boston's history. In the summer of 1974 a heatwave blankets Boston and Mary Pat Fennessy is trying to stay one step ahead of the bill collectors. Mary Pat has lived her entire life in the housing projects of "Southie," the Irish American enclave that stubbornly adheres to old tradition and stands proudly apart. One night Mary Pat's teenage daughter Jules stays out late and doesn't come home. That same evening, a young Black man is found dead, struck by a subway train under mysterious circumstances. The two events seem unconnected. But Mary Pat, propelled by a desperate search for her missing daughter, begins turning over stones best left untouched--asking questions that bother Marty Butler, chieftain of the Irish mob, and the men who work for him, men who don't take kindly to any threat to their business. Set against the hot, tumultuous months when the city's desegregation of its public schools exploded in violence, Small Mercies is a superb thriller, a brutal depiction of criminality and power, and an unflinching portrait of the dark heart of American racism. It is a mesmerizing and wrenching work that only Dennis Lehane could write., Instant New York Times Bestseller "Small Mercies is thought provoking, engaging, enraging, and can't-put-it-down entertainment." -- Stephen King The acclaimed New York Times bestselling writer returns with a masterpiece to rival Mystic River--an all-consuming tale of revenge, family love, festering hate, and insidious power, set against one of the most tumultuous episodes in Boston's history.

    Advertised as new but, has creases as if it is used. As for the shipping, I ordered it late at night on a Tuesday and it was delivered on a Saturday. It went from Illinois to Texas in 3 1/2 days and arrived 6 days before the quoted delivery date. Pretty impressive. Good eBayer that I would consider buying from again. Thank you!

  • A tale of loss and redemption

    Another triumph for Dennis Lehane. A gripping tale of loss and redemption set in Boston in the turbulent racial dynamics of busing in the 1970s.

    I did not read more than 60 pages of this book. I couldn't form any connection with the characters and got tired of all the swear languge. I certainly would not have enjoyed the violent fight scenes at the end of the book..
