Lehane breathes pulsing life into his story through the small details of his stoop-shouldered characters' lives, investing their every mannerism with unspoken emotion and the weight of too many bad decisions, all of which makes Bob's transformation from quiet desperation to quiet determination a powerful kind of existential drama." -- Booklist (starred review) "The bard of blue-collar Boston crime returns with a sleight-of-hand novel tinged with sin and redemption." -- Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisDennis Lehane returns to the streets of Mystic River with this love story wrapped in a crime story wrapped in a journey of faith--the basis for the major motion picture The Drop , from Fox Searchlight Pictures directed by Micha l Roskam, screenplay by Dennis Lehane, and starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and James Gandolfini. Three days after Christmas, a lonely bartender looking for a reason to live rescues an abused puppy from a trash can and meets a damaged woman looking for something to believe in. As their relationship grows, they cross paths with the Chechen mafia; a man grown dangerous with age and thwarted hopes; two hapless stick-up artists; a very curious cop; and the original owner of the puppy, who wants his dog back. . . ., Dennis Lehane returns to the streets of Mystic River with this love story wrapped in a crime story wrapped in a journey of faith-the basis for the major motion picture The Drop, from Fox Searchlight Pictures directed by Michaël Roskam, screenplay by Dennis Lehane, and starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and James Gandolfini.

The Drop by Dennis Lehane was nothing less than I expected. It keeps you wanting to turn the page. I read it all in one sitting.
Dennis Lehane is one of my (and my husband's) favorite authors. I bought this for my husband's birthday but read it first. Ebay has become one of my "go to" sites for many things. Thank you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
