“Since We Fell,” by Dennis Lehane

From the author of “Mystic River” comes “Since We Fell,” the saga of Rachel Childs, a former journalist who suffered an on-air mental breakdown and now lives as a virtual shut-in. In all other respects, however, she enjoys an ideal life with an ideal husband until a chance encounter on a rainy afternoon causes that ideal life to fray along with her marriage and Rachel herself. Sucked into a conspiracy of deception, violence and possibly madness, Rachel must find the strength within herself to conquer unimaginable fears and mind-altering truths. This New York Times best-seller is Lehane’s most recent work of fiction.
