The Last Whisper in the Dark: A Novel (Terrier Rand)

Professional thief Terrier Rand hasnâ‚¬t gotten caught yet. Itâ‚¬s only his conscience chasing at his heels.
Â
In the follow-up to Tom Piccirilliâ‚¬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 worldâ‚¬"not to mention from oneÂ anotherâ‚¬"Terry is sure of one thing: He owes it to the woman he loved and lost to make sure her husband stays alive.
Â
Kimmyâ‚¬s husband, Terryâ‚¬s old friend Chub, hasnâ‚¬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 hittersâ‚¬"guys who donâ‚¬t take kindly to Terry asking questions. But before Terry can find his friend, a curvaceous divorcÂ©e 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.
Â
In a world of larceny, grift, and fraud, no amount of loyaltyâ‚¬"to friends, wives, or loversâ‚¬"can compete with the Rand family drama. Terry just wants to bring Chub home to his wife and child. Instead, heâ‚¬s dodging mobsters, moguls, and murderers . . . and the truth about one crime of his own.
Â
The Last Whisper in the Dark takes readers on a wild, rollicking ride with an eclectic crowd of fascinating charactersâ‚¬"from a well-mannered killer who drives needles into his victimsâ‚¬ brains to a young gangster struggling to live up to his fatherâ‚¬s expectations. Bonds of honor, bonds of blood, and betrayals of both make this the most powerful read yet from the heralded Tom Piccirilli.
