A page-turner&” (André Aciman, New York Times–bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name).

Always correct and well-mannered, he&’s given up on love until one night—entirely out of character for him—Weynfeldt decides to take home a ravishing but unaccountable young woman. The next morning, he finds her outside on his balcony threatening to jump. Weynfeldt talks her down and soon finds himself falling for this damaged but alluring beauty and his buttoned-up existence comes unraveled. As their two lives become entangled, Weynfeldt gets embroiled in an art forgery scheme that threatens to destroy everything he and his prominent family have stood for.

Comfort food for readers who crave memorable characters, romance, and touching, drawn-from-life scenes.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Swift, edgy . . .

Great for sophisticated suspense fans.&” —Library Journal (starred review) &“Set in the midst of that vibrant and bizarre organism known as the art world. A captivating read about a memorable protagonist.&” —Noah Charney, author of The Museum of Lost Art

In the follow-up to Tom Piccirilli's acclaimed novel The Last Kind Words, prodigal thief Terrier Rand has come home to the family that has lawbreaking in its blood. With generations of Rands keeping secrets from the outside world--not to mention from one another--Terry is sure of one thing: He owes it to the woman he loved and lost to make sure her husband stays alive. Kimmy's husband, Terry's old friend Chub, hasn't been seen since he supplied a getaway car for a heist that went wrong. When Terry investigates the ominous disappearance, he discovers that Chub was involved with a strange, violent gang of heavy hitters--guys who don't take kindly to Terry asking questions. But before Terry can find his friend, a curvaceous divorcée takes him for a walk on the wild side, estranged relatives pull him into their horror movie empire, his sister Dale sets her sights on Hollywood after scoring a hit viral video, and his own uncle recruits Terry to rip off his partner. In a world of larceny, grift, and fraud, no amount of loyalty--to friends, wives, or lovers--can compete with the Rand family drama. Terry just wants to bring Chub home to his wife and child. Instead, he's dodging mobsters, moguls, and murderers . . . and the truth about one crime of his own. The Last Whisper in the Dark takes readers on a wild, rollicking ride with an eclectic crowd of fascinating characters--from a well-mannered killer who drives needles into his victims' brains to a young gangster struggling to live up to his father's expectations.
