Gone, Baby, Gone

Title: Gone, Baby, Gone
Author: Dennis Lehane

Although this novel is considered fiction, I'm sure many of the characters and events have happened in our own cities. Police corruption, drugs, kidnapping, all the same terrible heartbreaking events that go on daily throughout, I'm sure, our over-populated inner cities or even big cities. The author goes deep in this story. Extremely good moral questions develop throughout the book and especially the ending. If you knew about a kidnapping of a child from a very unfit mother into the hands of loving people, would you turn in the bad people or leave what some would say "well enough alone"?

Fiction; rated 3 out of 5.
