Dennis Lehane, Mystic River author, in conversation with Eddie Muller

Dennis Lehane has had the kind of career most authors would kill for. Already riding high with a string of New York Times bestsellers, Lehane found Hollywood producers hungry for his dark plots, unforgettable characters and cinematic thrills. From the multi-Oscar-winning Mystic River (for which he was nominated for adapted screenplay) to Gone, Baby, Gone to Shutter Island and The Drop, Lehane is increasingly in demand in the film industry, and has written for acclaimed series like The Wire and Boardwalk Empire. He discusses his book-to-film career, as well as his most recent novel, World Gone By. Co-presented by Litquake.
