The Last Darkness

In fog-shrouded Glasgow, not far from the squares packed with tourists, narrow alleys conceal all manner of criminals and miscreants—skin-headed nationalists, thieves, racists, Derringer-wielding prostitutes, and the quiet, ferocious killers who stalk them. It’s all part of the city Detective-Sergeant Lou Perlman knows and sometimes loves.
 
Lou Perlman is a thinking man’s detective. Quiet yet congenial and in love with his brother’s wife, Perlman is haunted by the ghosts of his past—and his past mistakes. Even as he uncovers deadly plots and brings Glasgow’s worst criminals to justice, Perlman has a secret that threatens to undo everything good that he has ever achieved.
