Its definition is continually expanding from the previous generation’s agreed-upon notion that noir involves men in fedoras smoking cigarettes on street corners. Noir alludes to crime, sure, but it also evokes bleak elements, danger, tragedy, sleaze, all of which is best represented by its root French definition: black. We used this idea as our guide for this sequel to the best-selling Boston Noir anthology . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The commonwealth is an endless source of fascinating landscapes: the autumnal light spreading across the Charles River; the ice floes in the wintry Boston Harbor; a spring air tantalizing leaves in Harvard Yard; the salty taste of summer as sunbathers peer into the horizon, shielding their eyes from the glare, squinting into the middle distance. Beyond the postcard fabric, though, lies a community populated by broken families, criminal minds, voyeurs, and outsiders. They look like you and me. These are their stories.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDENNIS LEHANE\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro mystery series (\u003ci\u003eA Drink before the War; Darkness, Take My Hand; Sacred; Gone, Baby, Gone; Prayers for Rain; and Moonlight Mile\u003c\/i\u003e), as well as \u003ci\u003eCoronado\u003c\/i\u003e (five stories and a play) and the award-winning novels \u003ci\u003eMystic River, Shutter Island\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Given Day\u003c\/i\u003e.
