You can feel him just wanting to do away with conventions and write about PEOPLE.
At this point Lehane was on this third Patrick and Angie book. It’s mechanical and ultimately little more than a magic trick that has to get boring when you’re doing it year in and year out. Writing a mystery with a “gotcha” ending and everything else is like building a machine. It’s clear to me that Lehane by now is getting tired of building a better mouse trap, if you know what I mean. The mystery angle is kind of pushed to the back-burner, treated as the McGuffin it is, and we get a little more of what really makes ths series worth reading. I don’t think SACRED is intended to be the same kind of installment as the other Patrick and Angie novels. Widely misunderstood and under appreciated With Sacred, Lehane confirms his status as today's hottest young author of first-rate mysteries that are also smartly written literary novels. Snappy dialogue, explosive action scenes, and original characters have become Dennis Lehane's trademarks. And the more Patrick and Angie discover, the more they realize that on this case any wrong step will certainly be their last.
Nothing is what it seems as the detectives travel from the windblown streets of Boston to the rum-punch sunsets of Florida's Gulf Coast. Patrick and Angie are led down a trail of half-truths and corruption into a world in which a therapeutic organization may be fronting for a dangerous and seductive cult, a high-tech private investigation firm may be covering up lethal crimes, and a stolen cache of millions in illegal funds may be tied to both disappearances and a tanker full of heroin. So has the first investigator Stone hired to find her: Jay Becker, Patrick's mentor. Grief-stricken over the death of her mother and the impending death of her father, Desiree Stone has been missing for three weeks. Dying billionaire Trevor Stone hires private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaroto find his missing daughter.
