The Dark Room

The mayor of San Francisco is being blackmailed and the blackmailer does not want money but he does want the mayor to kill himself. Gavin Cain, an SFPD homicide inspector is called to the mayor's office in order to investigate who is blackmailing the mayor. This dark plot involves a 30 year old murder and 4 photographs that the mayor has received. San Francisco is the perfect setting for this dark story. The characters are complex and the twists are unexpected. It's a story that keeps you reading and guessing until the very end. I found the ending to be very surprising and made me want more. I will be reading Jonathan Moore's newest book immediately after this one. I would highly recommend this book to those who like dark and gritty noir crime thrillers.
