An article in yesterday's Boston Herald profiled author Dennis Lehane and reported that his next novel is a sequel to the 1998 mystery Gone Baby Gone, which features Boston private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. The pair was last seen in the 1999 thriller Prayers for Rain.
“I thought I would never write about them again,” said Lehane. “Then all of a sudden I thought, what would it be like if a girl walked back into your life that was part of the most guilt-inducing decision you had ever made.”
He added, “It’s 11 years later, and that same girl goes missing again. And now he’s gotta find her again,” he said. “Initially he doesn’t want to, but then he finds himself chasing this part of the past that almost destroyed him and every relationship he’s ever had. It’s something he never made peace with.”
A 2007 film adaptation of Gone Baby Gone starred Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan as the principal characters.
The title of the new book wasn't provided, nor a release date, only sometime "next summer or early fall".
