Bibliography
Writes like Dennis Lehane

Mystic River (2000) Childhood friends Jimmy Marcus, Sean Devine, and Dave Boyle reunite after the murder of Jimmy's 19-year old daughter, Katie. Katie's body was found in a state park in Boston, and Jimmy's friend Sean, a state police detective, has been assigned to the case. During the investigation, Sean discovers evidences that points to their old friend Dave as the number one suspect. On the night of the murder, Dave came home with bloodied hands and a knife wound to the stomach. The Savage brothers, neighborhood thugs and friends of Jimmy, begin their own search for the killer, so they can let Jimmy get his revenge, while Detective Sean Devine works to solve the case and handle Jimmy's rage.

Shutter Island (2004) It is 1954. Shutter Island, home to Ashcliffe psychiatric hospital. U.S. Marshals Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule investigate the disappearance of a patient, Rachel Solando, who had committed multiple murders. The marshals search the island for the patient as a hurricane bears down on them, and they find that the hospital has practiced sinister measures during its existence. But not everything is as simple as it appears to be. Twists, turns and a surprise ending that purposely challenges the reader's idea of the truth.

Coronado: Stories (Early 2009) A small town is a hard place to keep a secret. "Running Out of Dog," two Vietnam vets return to their hometown of Eden, S.C., and become tragically entangled with the wife of a man whose rich family kept him out of the war. Class resentment similarly erupts in "Gone Down to Corpus," set in back-water Texas, 1970, as a group of high school football players breaks into the house of rich kid Lyle, who fumbled the big pass at the last game. They drunkenly wreck the house and are shocked by the appearance of Lyle's younger sister, Lurlene, who is eager to join the party. The collection's centerpiece is "Until Gwen," which has also been adapted by Cranston into a two-act play, Coronado. Transcribed, the play revolves around the edgy reunion of a hustler father and his son, Bobby, newly released after four years in prison. It quickly becomes apparent that Bobby's father has retrieved him only to find out where the heist loot is hidden, and Bobby, in turn, needs to know what happened to his girlfriend, Gwen.
