Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[flippyshark]

Though the trade paperback has a movie photo on its cover, it's a real novel written by Dennis Lehane a few years ago. (He was also listed as associate producer on the movie, so I figure it has his blessing to some extent.)

I confess that I skimmed the last chapters a bit, and

Spoiler:

noticed the same anagram chart seen in the movie

so it looks like the book probably has the same denouement as the movie.
