Dennis Lehane's Next Book Is...

....well, I'll just quote Ruth Jordan, who buried the lead in her report on Murder and Mayhem in Muskego over the weekend:

And at the end of the day, in a fabulous interview by Michael Koryta of Dennis Lehane, we heard the news that Patrick and Angie are getting off the island. They have indeed knocked on Dennis's door again. It looks like his next book may not be a sequel to THE GIVEN DAY after all. Are we ready for another Patrick and Angie Book? Yeah , I know.... stupid question..... stupid, stupid question.

Chalk that up to asking a question rhetorically....

Didn't he just recently say that he can't write in that voice anymore?

If he finds that he can, that's great. Gone, Baby, Gone is still his best book.

Very cool!

[Jon Jordan]

He did in fact say it and said that the previous reports are now out of date.

Very happy campers here in Milwaukee.

And Darkness Take My Hand is better than Gone Baby Gone

I know there will be an awful lot of happy staffers and happy customers at The Mystery Bookstore in Los Angeles. We are going to be soooooo thrilled to hear from Patrick and Angie again! Gotta agree with Jon Jordan on Darkness, Take My Hand...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sarah, for spreading a little sunshine with this news!
