Summary
Billionaire Trevor Stone is dying, and his grief-stricken daughter has been missing for three weeks. Stone hires detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro to track her down. But as they search, Patrick and Angie dig up cult members, millions of dollars of stolen funds, and a huge quantity of heroin. What does all this have to do with Stone's daughter? Plenty. And Patrick and Angie are in so deep that they're not sure they'll get out with their lives.

Media Reviews
"Lehane's barn-burning third novel packs enough beatings, betrayals, unmaskings, resurrections, smart talk, and untrustworthy people for the most jaded palate. If you haven't discovered this gifted newcomer yet, you'd better hurry before his ship of fools and knaves casts off without you."
-- Kirkus
"Driven by a fast-paced, twisting plot, these two keep up a flippant commentary on the foreign life-forms while engaging in some bruising tussles with a sinister group of religious swindlers who may or may not be the villains in the piece." -- Marilyn Stasio
-- New York Times Book Review
"Lehane keeps the twists coming and the reader guessing, but his treatment of the deep love between Patrick and Angie is downright touching. The complex Angie, a working-class Italian woman who is at once tough and achingly private, and Patrick, the thoughtful but cynical product of a traumatic childhood, are the most captivating couple in mystery fiction today." -- Peter Handel
-- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

Publisher's Notes
A dying billionaire hires private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro to find his missing daughter, after the first investigator on the case has disappeared. They are about to enter a world of corruption where nothing is what it seems, and the two people they seek could be saints or sinners, victims or victimizers, alive or dead. From the gutsy streets of Boston to the rum-punch sunsets of the Florida Gulf Coast, the more Patrick and Angie learn, the better they understand: every step could be their last.

Catfish Cafe
by Earl Emerson
"What in hell drove Balinda to a night like this?" Everyone who knew Balinda could have told Seattle private eye Thomas Black that the ex-choir girl thumbed a ride with the devil a long time ago. But not even Luther Little, Balindas father and Blacks former partner, expected the pretty young woman to simply vanish off the face of the earth.Even stranger than Balindas disappearance is what she left in her wake: an empty purse, a wrecked car, and a dead Eagle Scout in the backseat pumped four times in the stomach with an automatic. Whats more, Balinda never even gave notice at her last job--a cozy little backwater diner where a freezer might keep more than crawdads on ice.It isnt until Balindas driver is identified that Thomas and Luther suspect trouble. For it turns out that the victim was a fifth-grade Tacoma schoolteacher with an impeccable reputation. But tracking the past of a white-bread teacher is more hazardous than it sounds. Especially when it leads Thomas and Luther back to that modest little eat-in/take-out . . . called Catfish Café. You can get anything you want at Catfish Café. But watch out. Some of it bites back.Serving up nothing less than a wickedly devious plot, clever, textured prose, and a classic combination of intrigue and wit, Catfish Café solidifies Emerson's reputation as a master of hard-boiled suspense.

Bloody Secrets
by
Miami P.I. Lupe Solano has been called "funny, sexy, and Miami-smart" by Nelson DeMille, and "an absolute joy" by The Miami Herald. Now the celebrated sleuth returns. In a sweeping story that takes readers from the last days of Batista's Havana, to the Guantanamo Bay refugee camp, to Miami's high society, Lupe takes the case of a balsero-a refugee who escaped Cuba by raft. Luis is a drifter living in a flophouse, but he claims Miami's most prominent Cuban couple has robbed his family and arranged for his murder. Lupe is instantly drawn to Luis, and his sense of honor. But the case becomes troubling when innocent people are killed and when her feelings for her client become more than professional. A page-turning mystery, a remarkable glimpse into the lives of all strata of Cuban-American society, and a fascinating look into the moral quandaries an investigator faces, Bloody Secrets is Garcia-Aguilera's boldest achievement yet.

HarperTorch. June 1, 1998. Paperback. Near Fine. Dennis Lehane won a Shamus Award for A Drink Before the War, his first book about working-class Boston detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. Hi s second in the series, Darkness, Take My Hand, got the kind of high octane reviews that careers are made of. Now Lehane not only survives the dreaded third-book curse, he beats it to death with a stick. Sacred is a dark and dangerous updating of Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep, as dying billionair e Trevor Stone hires Kenzie and Gennaro to find his daughter, Desiree. Patr ick's mentor, a wonderfully devious detective named Jay Becker, has already disappeared in St. Petersburg, Florida, while working the case, so the two head there to pick up a trail. Desiree, of course, is nothing like the swe et and simple beauty described by her father, and even Chandler would have been amazed by the plot twists that Lehane manages to keep coming.
