The Drop follows lonely bartender Bob Saginowski through a cover scheme of funelling cash to local gangsters - 'money drops' - in the underworld of Boston bars. Under the heavy hand of his employer and cousin Marv, Bob finds himself at the centre of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deep into the neighbourhood's past where friends, families and foes all work together to make a living - no matter the cost. A moving, gripping thriller, from Dennie Lehane, acclaimed New York Times bestselling autor of Shutter Island, Gone, Baby, Gone and Mystic River, The Drop will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Reviews for The Drop (Film Tie-In)

So beautifully written and so sharp in its details and atmosphere that it's no wonder Lehane's books attract filmmakers with such ease - Irish Voice Lehane is one of the great contemporary American crime writers - Daily Mail Sophisticated, literary and barbed enough... it makes this book a sentence-by-sentence pleasure. You are in the hands of an expert. And you'll know it - Scotsman on Live by Night Exciting, sexy and atmospheric...dark deeds, graceful prose and sassy dialogue - Sunday Times on Live by Night
