Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[Lehane] turns the hard-boiled detective novel into an elegiac treatise on the corruption of the soul. With the wonderfully written Sacred, he shows that he gets better each time out.” Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Lively and entertaining…Driven by a fast-paced, twisting plot.” New York Times Book Review
“As smart and fast a contemporary crime novel as you could wish for.” GQ
“With its tight dialogue, explosive action scenes and heart wrenching emotional crises, Sacred is difficult to put down.” Times (London)
“Sharp verbal patter, a noirish kind of good/bad girl and a dying and quite possibly sinister old man all enliven this third stellar effort…The punishing pace and internal plot logic perform in perfect tandem…Lehane proves he belongs in the big leagues with another gritty and surpassingly entertaining mystery.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Devilishly twisted, a kind of Elmore Leonard–meets–The Sting in which everyone is trying to con everyone else…Sacred is a first-class novel that will delight anyone who loves an intricate mystery.” Booklist
“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 Reviews
