From Dennis Lehane, the award-winning author of Mystic River, Shutter Island, and the Kenzie-Gennaro series, comes a surprisingly different collection of five short stories:
"Running Out the Dog"
"ICU"
"Gone Down to Corpus"
"Mushrooms"
"Until Gwen"
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.
