Lehane has become a fine craftsman, but you might not have noticed this skill in his first novel, A DRINK BEFORE THE WAR. I find it hard to believe he won and Edgar for best new writer for that book. I could barely finish it, I thought it was so unbelieveable and silly. He's redeemed himself with SHUTTER ISLAND and MYSTIC RIVER.
