The Drop: A Novel
New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane’s The Drop in Boston’s underworld.
“[A] gritty gem...a stark and moving short novel.” — Publishers Weekly
Two days after Christmas, Bob Saginowski, a lonely bartender
looking for a reason to live, rescues an abused and abandoned pit bull puppy
from a trash can and meets a damaged woman named Nadia Dunn looking for
something to believe in.
As their relationship grows, they cross paths with the
Chechen mafia, who have taken over his cousin Marv’s bar and use it as a money
drop; Marv himself, who has grown dangerously desperate with age and thwarted
hopes; two hapless stick-up artists who make the mistake of robbing the bar; a
very curious cop; and the original owner of the puppy, a psycho named Eric
Deeds, who wants his dog back. . .
