In Moonlight Mile, Dennis Lehane has returned to the characters who established his reputation as one of the great writers of crime novels.

Chilling as that is, it becomes more so when it is discovered that the Perry Hollow Gazette obituary writer received a death notice for Winnick before he was killed. Then things take a turn for the worse. $24.99
