Product Description
Product Description
Boston private investigators, Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro's relationship has hit the skids - their long-standing professional commitment and growing romance have disintegrated due to seemingly irreparable personal differences. But despite these problems, "Prayers for Rain" brings them together again to close down a predator whose modus operandi seems to put him beyond the law. This killer's insidious murder weapon is within his victims' minds: no smoking gun, no bloody knife, just merciless manipulation until despair drives his targets to kill themselves. As Patrick and Angie attempt to identify and save his next victim, this sinister force turns on them and thus begins a dangerous battle of wits: a tormenting, life-threatening game of psychological warfare in which simple survival seems a mixed blessing - because not even the winner will emerge unscathed.

‘DISCOVERING DENNIS LEHANE IS A BIT LIKE FINDING A MONDRIAN IN THE ATTIC: SURPRISE FOLLOWED BY ECSTASY’
Independent on Sunday
When Boston private investigator Patrick Kenzie meets Karen Nichols, she strikes him as an innocent from a protected upbringing.But six months later when Karen takes her own life, Patrick is left wondering what can change so drastically and so quickly that suicide seems the only option?
Through the final weeks of a stifling summer, and with the help of his ex-partner, Angela Gennaro, and his friend, the lethally unbalanced Bubba Rogowski, Patrick enters into psychological warfare with a brilliant sociopath who, instead of merely killing his victims, prefers to make them wish they were dead.
As the stakes grow higher and more personal, they find themselves fighting a losing battle with an enemy the law can’t touch, who is always one step ahead, who is gradually discovering their weaknesses, their loves, and is determined to tear their world apart.
‘CRACKLES ALONG AT AN ELECTRIC PACE, PACKED WITH FALSE LEADS, SUDDEN BURSTS OF VIOLENCE AND ONE TWIST AFTER ANOTHER, RIGHT TO THE VERY LAST PAGE. FANTASTIC’
