Sacred (novel)

"Sacred" (1997) is the third book in the Kenzie/Gennaro series by Dennis Lehane.

From the back of the book:

"A beautiful, grief-stricken woman has vanished without a trace. So has the detective hired to find her. And a lot of money. Enter saavy, tough-nosed private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro. Rooted in the no-nonsense streets of Boston's bluecollar Dorchester, they've seen it all- and survived. But this case leads them into unexpected territory where nothing is sacred- a land of lies and corruption where trusting "anyone" could get them killed... where any step could be their last."
