I'm also high on Richard Price's FREEDOMLAND at the moment,
having just
finished it while on vacation. A big book, a realistic
(maybe?) book, a
dark story. I agree with the critics: Almost every book Price
writes is a
masterpiece. For those who don't know, this guy wrote
CLOCKERS a few years
back, which was a major work of gritty art.
As for Lehane, I read those three, enjoyed them quite a lot,
but I don't
think there's much life left in the series unless he does
something
drastic. I have nothing to support this other than "my gut."
But I'll
give the next one a shot, i suppose.
