Reviews
Coronado is an apt reminder that the master of crime and literary fiction is also a proficient short-story writer...whose stories make us dig down into our own hopes and fears., Dennis Lehane creates flawed, hopeful, memorable characters with the kind of lyrical writing that is to literature what John Prine and Tom Waits are to music., Raw, surprising tales of passion and violence . . . [from] one of the most unpredictable minds in current American fiction., "Coronado is an apt reminder that the master of crime and literary fiction is also a proficient short-story writer...whose stories make us dig down into our own hopes and fears." -- USA Today "[A] brilliant, insightful and intriguing literary voyage. Lehane's ability to create complex and believable characters using simple prose is his best asset, one that he uses to full advantage...Lehane's genius is in the intricacy of the relationship. He draws these characters so realistically that their eventual downfall is especially poignant...an exciting, frenetic read that draws you into the lives of characters, lifestyles and locales that are not only colorful but engaging. Locations are vivid and crisp, characters are memorable and, most importantly, the story lines dig into you and leave their mark." -- Boston Herald "Raw, surprising tales of passion and violence . . .

Synopsis
Now available with a contemporary look, a must-have collection of riveting short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island . "Locations are vivid and crisp, characters are memorable and, most importantly, the story lines dig into you and leave their mark." --Boston Herald When it comes to contemporary crime fiction there's no territory quite as dangerous and unpredictable as that of New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane. These five short stories and a play are Lehane at his visceral best. In "Running Out of Dog," a vet returning from Vietnam is asked to redirect the violent skills he learned overseas to deal with his hometown's rampant population of strays. "ICU" follows a hunted man who finds refuge in the oddest place imaginable. Surprises await a gang of Texas high-school football jocks who lay siege to a luxury home in the suburbs in "Gone Down to Corpus." And in "Mushrooms," a simple theft triggers a series of murders that forces a disillusioned young girl to consider her next move. This collection also includes "Until Gwen" and its stage adaptation, Coronado , which expands on the trenchant tale of a morally bankrupt conman father, his ill-fated son, and the woman they have in common. In Lehane's capable hands, each story faces unflinchingly the darkest depths of the human experience--sin and redemption, loss and longing, flesh and blood--delivering a knockout punch that'll have readers reeling., From Dennis Lehane, the award-winning author of Mystic River, Shutter Island, and the Kenzie-Gennaro series, comes a striking collection offive short stories and a play. A small southern town gives birth to a dangerous man with a broken heart and a high-powered rifle. . . . A young girl, caught up in an inner-city gang war, crosses the line from victim to avenger. . . . An innocent man is hunted by government agents for an unspecified crime. . . . A boy and a girl fall in love while ransacking a rich man's house during the waning days of the Vietnam War. . . . A compromised psychiatrist confronts the unstable patient he slept with. . . . A father and a son wage a lethal battle of wits over the whereabouts of a stolen diamond and a missing woman. . . .Along with completely original material, this new col-lection is a compilation of the best of Dennis Lehane's previously published short stories, including "Until Gwen," which was adapted for the stage in 2005 and appears in this book as the play Coronado . At turns suspenseful, surreal, romantic, and tragically comic, these tales journey headlong into the heart of our national mythsabout class, gender, freedom, and regeneration through violenceand reveal that the truth waiting for us there is not what we'd expect., Now available with a contemporary look, a must-have collection of riveting short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island.
