A veteran Chicago cop who’s also a mensch, “Lieberman is
endearing, wise in his crochets, weary with his wisdom” (The
Washington Post Book World). Thirty-three years ago, Connie Gower
pulled a gun in a synagogue. He had come to avenge his brother, a
two-bit hoodlum who’d been killed in a shootout with a young cop
named Abe Lieberman. But Lieberman outsmarted him, and put Gower in
jail. After serving his time, for the next few decades Gower bounced
around the Chicago underworld, making a name for himself as a
second-rate mob enforcer. Fate is a funny thing. When Gower gets
arrested in Yuma, Arizona, it’s an aged Abe Lieberman who goes to
bring him home, leaving his longtime partner Bill Hanrahan back in the
windy city to put up with the hot air of his racist substitute.
Handcuffed to each other, Lieberman and his prisoner are about to
board the plane when a geriatric janitor shuffles towards them and
shoots Gower dead. Connie Gower was scum, but killing him is still
murder, and Lieberman is determined to find out who ordered the
hit—and why. Edgar Award winner Stuart M. Kaminsky’s The Last
Dark Place is “an entertaining crime novel that should send new
readers in search of its predecessors” (Publishers Weekly).
