BINDING HAS A CRACK AND THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE SLIGHTLY WORN.  COVER EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALSO A LITTLE WORN. CORNERS HAVE SMALL FOLDS/CREASES.  THIN RED LINE ON OUTER EDGE OF TOP PAGES.

Please remember these are used books.  I try to find books that are in good shape, but sometimes that is just not possible.  If I see something wrong with the book, I will describe the condition on the listing page. 

Please contact me before bidding if you think I have a rare book or first edition book.  Sometimes the ISBN# for a book differs from the eBay listing.  I certainly don't want you to purchase something from me, only to find out it was listed incorrectly.   

I only accept PayPal.  I'm sorry, but I don't accept checks or money orders. Also, if you are purchasing more than one item, and the auctions are ending on different days, please wait until you're finished shopping and then you can make one payment for all your books.

All orders are shipped media mail.  I ship the following business day after receiving a cleared payment.  If the post office takes longer than 2 - 9 business days, I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is a matter beyond my control.  Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico can take 3 - 6 weeks.  You will receive a tracking number from PayPal, so you can check on the status of your shipment at any time.

I charge $3.25 for shipping and $1.00 for each additional eligible book.  I do not offer refunds.  Insurance is available if you would like for $1.65.  If you choose the insurance coverage and your package gets lost or damaged you will be reimbursed for the price you purchased the book for. 

Thank you for visiting Turnthepage45.  I hope you found what you were looking for.  I am trying to sell things that will interest a wide variety of people, so please send me a message if you're looking for a certain book or author, and I would be happy to try and find it for you.     

Please feel free to contact me through eBay messaging, and I will try and get back to you asap.  If you have a problem or you're not satisfied for some reason, I would certainly like to hear from you.  I can't help you or find a solution to the problem if you just leave negative feedback.  

Thank you again for your business and please come back soon!

Publisher's Note
A cadre of powerful Massachusetts politicians offers Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro big money for a small job: find the missing cleaning woman who allegedly stole confidential Statehouse documents. But there's much more to this crime than anyone realizes. What the woman was really after was justice--and out on the Boston streets, the truth can turn stark and ugly. . .

This is it: the novel that introduces the newest sensation in detective fiction, Dennis Lehane, and a couple of gritty private investigators who grew up and grew tough in blue-collar Dorchester. Kenzie and Gennaro have opened their own agency from the belfry of a Boston church--and all manner of unholiness is crossing their threshold. Like it or not, they're headed for a deadly crossfire in a case that's not just about right and wrong--it's all-out war.A cadre of powerful Massachusetts politicians offers Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro big money for a small job: find the missing cleaning woman who allegedly stole confidential Statehouse documents.

This is it: the novel that introduces the newest sensation in detective fiction, Dennis Lehane, and a couple of gritty private investigators who grew up and grew tough in blue-collar Dorchester.

Like it or not, they're headed for a deadly crossfire in a case that's not just about right and wrong--it's all-out war.
Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro are tough private investigators who know the blue-collar neighborhoods and ghettos of Boston's Dorchester section as only natives can. Working out of an old church belfry, Kenzie and Gennaro take on a seemingly simple assignment for a prominent politician: uncover the whereabouts of Jenna Angeline, a black cleaning woman who has allegedly stolen confidential Statehouse documents. But finding Jenna proves easy compared to staying alive once they have. The investigation escalates, implicating members of Jenna's family and rival gang leaders, while uncovering extortion, assassination, and child prostitution extending from bombed-out ghetto streets to the highest levels of state government.

Industry reviews
"Dennis Lahane has the savvy and heads-up irony of Robert Crace combined with the lyricism and insight of a young James Lee Burke. Buy two copies. One to read and savor, one to collect."
J.W. Hawe 

"Reading 'A Drink Before the War' is like watching Robert B. Parker and John Updike duke it out phrase by phrase on some steamy night in Boston's Combat Zone. Christ, Lahane writes beautiful sentences!"
John Dufresne
