SMALL MERCIES - DENNIS LEHANE KARTONIERT (TB)

A Times and Sunday Times Thriller of the MonthIn the summer of 1974 a heatwave blankets Boston
and Mary Pat Fennessey 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. 'Top-notch dialogue  an absorbing mystery and an evocation of a historical
moment foreshadowing America's 21st-century ethnic divide' Sunday Times 'Mary Pat Fennessy
might be Dennis Lehane's single greatest creation' Irish Times 'Brutal  thrilling and
relentlessly clear-eyed' Mail on Sunday
