the hero is a bit like John Connolly's Charlie Parker - the story flashbacks to when he was young and clowns came to town and a friend of the main character gets kidnapped by the clowns into a car and is never seen again. there is also a paedophile in this book that runs throughout to the present day (I think was a retired police officer but i'm not certain).
this book came out around 10 or more years ago and i'm fairly sure it was the author's first or second book. my brain is hurting so much in trying to find out the title and author of this book. i've checked out dennis lehane and john connolly on amazon but none of their books seem to carry this storyline.
help me please ......

i see what you mean - it does sound like the same elements but this story is very different. i've read mystic river and it's the tale of 3-4 friends as they grow and reach adulthood and the consequences of their past.
this is about one boy and his not-really friend but just a playmate. i think the main character gets away from the two men dressed-up as clowns and sees his playmate's face for the last time crying to save him.
