Kenzie & Gennaro are back baby back — in 2011

Dennis Lehane

Now better known for his standalone successes like Shutter Island, Mystic River and The Given Day, Dennis Lehane made his fiction debut in a more conventional manner—writing a stellar detective series. Boston PIs Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro hit the scene in 1994′s Shamus Award-winning novel A Drink Before the War. The two started as friends, then began a rocky romance that hit more than a couple of bumps over the five-book series. Now Lehane has sold a sixth (and final) Kenzie-Gennaro book to Morrow for publication in 2011—the first novel in the series since 1999′s Prayers for Rain.

We at BookPage have gotten scads of emails asking whether Lehane would ever return to the series, so we think this should be welcome news for readers!
