What do you recommend?

“The Drop by Dennis Lehane is a seemingly small story, written also for the big screen, that’s a character study of a thriller. Lonely bartender rescues dog from trash can and finds love and trouble from the mob he may resemble, an affair of the streetwise heart. Not the most complex crime story you can read or watch, but it haunts you like a lost dog.”

Ran Henry, author of Spurrier: How The Ball Coach Taught the South to Play Football
