With the stakes this high, Lehane knows the reader will be immediately hooked.Īnd it’s not hard to see why Hollywood has become so enamored of each new Lehane book too, because the truth is that his cinematic writing already does most of the heavy lifting for them.įew of his contemporaries have Lehane’s near obsession with the telling detail (and getting them precisely right), and he’s also quietly emerging as one of the greatest writers about class and its consequences that America has produced in decades.īut its Lehane’s tough as nails characters (who are almost always more than usually flawed) that fascinates the actors who play them. This time, though, they vow to each other that the outcome will be different for the young woman whose safety they want to ensure. Taking on another missing Amanda case in Moonlight Mile is not something that Lehane’s detectives Kenzie and Gennaro, who are now married with a child of their own, do lightly. Especially when it comes to the very conflicting emotions of his central characters. If you’ve read Gone, Baby, Gone or seen the film, you’ll know that Lehane gets the details of the world he’s writing about right. It was also a world I didn't see too much of in books or film or TV and the few times I did see it, they tended to get it wrong.” “It was very verbal and extremely comic in a gallows humor kind of way. “The world I grew up in had the most influence on my writing,” Lehane recently told the press.
