My vote goes to Dennis Lehane. While I enjoy Elroy and Peace,
their plots are so scattered I can never tell whether the
endings make sense or not. With the exception of Shutter
Island, which is brilliant even though you don't know what's
going on until the end, Lehane's novels make use of logical
plot evolution and powerfully flawed characters. Of the one's
I've read, he's about the best.
