[Dennis Lehane] turns the hard-boiled detective novel into an elegiac treatise on the corruption of the soul. With the wonderfully written Sacred, he shows that he gets better each time out – Michael Connelly
With its tight dialogue, explosive action scenes and heart wrenching emotional crises, Sacred is difficult to put down * The Times *
