The Drop
Dennis Lehane returns to the streets of Mystic River with this love story wrapped in a crime story wrapped in a journey of faith—the basis for the major motion picture The Drop, from Fox Searchlight Pictures directed by Michaël Roskam, screenplay by Dennis Lehane, and starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and James Gandolfini.
Three days after Christmas, a lonely bartender looking for a reason to live rescues an abused puppy from a trash can and meets a damaged woman looking for something to believe in. As their relationship grows, they cross paths with the Chechen mafia; a man grown dangerous with age and thwarted hopes; two hapless stick-up artists; a very curious cop; and the original owner of the puppy, who wants his dog back. . . .

This book was absolutely blowing my mind. So intense it’s visceral to the point of discomfort, incredibly crafted but almost overwhelming. Powerful writing indeed. The character development is astounding. I had to take breaks as I was reading to maintain my sanity. Like nothing I have ever read before.

Exceptional short story by Lehane. Another story about good guys and bad guys in a New England setting, but it was a fine book. He knows how to fabricate characters where you can feel their emotions.
