Dennis Lehane’s Three Months Trilogy

In the past we’ve posted about Shutter Island and Dennis Lehane‘s detective series starring Boston PIs Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro (most recently Moonlight Mile).

Now I’ve got some more Lehane news for you, and this tidbit’s a biggie: The author of Mystic River, The Given Day and many others will write a trilogy called the Three Months Trilogy. The first book, September, will come out in 2013, and it will be followed by October and November. According to Publishers Marketplace, the series is about “a cold case detective with a terminal diagnosis.” The detective will investigate a “notorious Boston murder” and become “heroic through his final act.”

It’s so exciting to learn that a favorite author has a major new project in the works—will you mark your calendars (eh . . . your 2013 calendars) for this one?
