Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on August 04, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Dennis Lehane! May your day be filled with more twists and turns than a Patrick Kenzie investigation. Your novels have kept us on the edge of our seats—sometimes spilling drinks before finishing "A Drink Before the War." Here's hoping today brings you fewer mysteries to solve and plenty of reasons to celebrate.

From gritty Boston streets to gripping Hollywood adaptations, you've given readers countless sleepless nights—and we thank you for every thrilling page-turner. Keep crafting those unforgettable stories; after all, birthdays are just another chapter in life's suspenseful plotline. Cheers to many more years (and bestsellers) ahead!
