Dennis Lehane

Den hyllade New York Times-bästsäljaren är tillbaka med ett mästerverk i klass med Mystic River. Sommaren 1974 eldar värmeböljan på rashatet som redan kokar i den irländskdominerade slumförorten Southie där den ensamstående mamman Mary Pat levt hela sitt liv. Samma natt som hennes tonårsdotter inte kommer hem efter en fest hittas en ung svart man död, påkörd av tunnelbanan. De två händelserna verkar inte sammankopplade, men Mary Pat, som desperat söker efter sin försvunna dotter, börjar vända på stenar som den irländska maffian hellre skulle se orörda. Beväpnad med inget mer än sin fallfärdiga Range Rover och en mors förtvivlade önskan om att till sist göra rätt skyr hon inga medel i jakten på sanningen. Hatets hjärta är en brutal skildring av kriminalitet och makt i den amerikanska rasismens hjärta. Det är en uppslukande thriller om hämnd, lojaliteter, desperation och uppror, som utspelar sig under en av Bostons mest tumultartade epoker. Fylld av gripande karaktärer lämnar den ingen oberörd. Dennis Lehane fick sitt stora genombrott med Mystic River och Shutter Island och har sedan dess skrivit ytterligare en handfull kriminalromaner som blivit såväl internationella bestsellers som storfilmer, exempelvis The Drop och Live By Night. Han har även skrivit manus till The Wire, skrivit och producerat Boardwalk Empire och Bloodline samt producerat serie-adaptationen av Stephen Kings The Outsider. Han undervisar i kreativt skrivande på Harvard och är själv uppvuxen i Boston med irländsk härkomst. Just nu arbetar han med att utveckla en ny serie för Apple TV+. "Hårdnackat fantastisk. Lehane när han är som bäst." New York Times "Ett brutalt, spännande och obevekligt klarsynt porträtt av en stad som är splittrad av rädsla och hat." The Mail on Sunday "Lehane är briljant på det här, och Hatets hjärta är ett mästerverk i genren." Sydney Morning Herald

Vuelve Dennis Lehane con una novela a la altura de Mystic River. «Una novela tan estimulante, cautivadora y arrebatadora que es imposible dejarla. --Stephen King Boston, verano de 1974. Una noche, Jules, la hija adolescente de Mary Pat, se queda fuera hasta tarde y no vuelve a casa. Esa misma noche, un joven negro aparece muerto, arrollado por un tren en misteriosas circunstancias. Los dos sucesos parecen no tener relaci n, pero Mary Pat, impulsada por la desesperada b squeda de su hija, empieza a hacer preguntas que molestan a Marty Butler, jefe de la mafia irlandesa, y a los hombres que trabajan para l. Ambientada en los calurososy tumultuosos meses en los que la desegregaci n de las escuelas p blicas de la ciudad estall en violencia, Golpe de gracia es un magn fico thriller, una brutal descripci n de la criminalidad y el poder, y un retrato inquebrantable del oscuro coraz n del racismo americano. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Small Mercies is thought provoking, engaging, enraging, and can't-put-it-down entertainment." -- Stephen King The acclaimed New York Times bestselling writer returns with a masterpiece to rival Mystic River--an all-consuming tale of revenge, family love, festering hate, and insidious power, set against one of the most tumultuous episodes in Boston's history. In the summer of 1974, a heatwave blankets Boston and Mary Pat Fennessy is trying to stay one step ahead of the bill collectors. Mary Pat has lived her entire life in the housing projects of "Southie," the Irish American enclave that stubbornly adheres to old tradition and stands proudly apart. One night Mary Pat's teenage daughter Jules stays out late and doesn't come home. That same evening, a young Black man is found dead, struck by a subway train under mysterious circumstances. The two events seem unconnected. But Mary Pat, propelled by a desperate search for her missing daughter, begins turning over stones best left untouched--asking questions that bother Marty Butler, chieftain of the Irish mob, and the men who work for him, men who don't take kindly to any threat to their business. Set against the hot, tumultuous months when the city's desegregation of its public schools exploded in violence, Small Mercies is a superb thriller, a brutal depiction of criminality and power, and an unflinching portrait of the dark heart of American racism. It is a mesmerizing and wrenching work that only Dennis Lehane could write.
