In his new novel, "Moonlight Mile," author Dennis Lehane picks up the story of two detectives and lovers who were featured in his 1998 novel, "Gone Baby Gone." In that book, Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro searched for four-year-old Amanda, who was kidnapped from her drug-addicted mother. When they found her, Kenzie decided to return Amanda to her negligent mother, even though he kidnappers had offered the child a better life. That decision that caused a split between Kenzie and Gennaro. In "Moonlight Mile," set 12 years later, the two have reconciled and married and have a young daughter. But Amanda is missing again, and Patrick is determined to find her.
