Finished Sa 3/30/14
Some of the characters in this book were first introduced in Lehane's 2008 novel, THE GIVEN DAY. I think that I heard this on disc when I was working, but I plan to get the book sometime in the future.
LIVE BY NIGHT was first-rate Noir, and I read it in just a couple of days.

I want to keep a tally of books read, and include a brief 'thumb-nail' description of my impressions.

LOST IN SHANGRI-LA by Mitchell Zuckoff
Finished Th 3/6/14 (Library book recommended by Dr. Floyd)
The adventures of WAC corporal Margaret Hastings, sergeant Kenneth Decker and lieutenant John McCollom who were the only survivors of a flight over New Guinea on May 13,1945.
The Baliem Valley
The Gremlin Special
The high-altitude rescue was performed using Waco CG-4 gliders towed by a Douglas C-47 Skytrain. Three separate rescues were performed by towing a glider with single pilot into the valley. The glider was then loaded and configured for a live capture by the tow plane which recovered the survivors, towing them back to a base in Hollandia.
