Coronado [Paperback] Lehane, Dennis

Five novellas from the author of *Mystic River* and *Shutter Island*, and they hit like Dennis Lehane at his rawest. A killer sent to whack a target in a small Florida town. A woman who discovers her husband's dark secret on their tenth anniversary. A man haunted by a photograph. These stories span decades and coastlines, but they share Lehane's signature blend of moral ambiguity and quiet menace. The violence is sudden, the betrayals cut deep, and the endings rarely offer comfort. Lehane writes crime fiction that understands the weight of consequence — how one decision can ruin a life, how some sins don't wash off. The titular novella alone is worth the price of admission. For fans of noir that doesn't flinch, or anyone who likes their literary fiction with a body count.
