Synopsis

Gavin Cain, an SFPD homicide inspector, is in the middle of an exhumation when his phone rings. San Francisco's mayor is being blackmailed and has ordered Cain back to the city; a helicopter is on its way. The casket, and Cain's cold-case investigation, must wait.

At City Hall, the mayor shows Cain four photographs he's received: the first, an unforgettable blonde; the second, pills and handcuffs on a nightstand; the third, the woman drinking from a flask; and last, the woman naked, unconscious, and shackled to a bed. The accompanying letter is straightforward: worse revelations are on the way unless the mayor takes his own life first.

An intricately plotted, deeply affecting thriller that keeps readers guessing until the final pages, The Dark Room tracks Cain as he hunts for the blackmailer, pitching him into the web of destruction and devotion the mayor casts in his shadow.

Goodreads review by Liz on February 04, 2017

I was a fan of "The Poison Artist" the first in a loose trilogy from Jonathan Moore, it was different and compelling and entirely gripping. With The Dark Room he has changed things up and out and I do believe I love this one more - I read it in two hugely immersive sittings, this is a slice of dark......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on July 23, 2016

I am picky about my crime reads. It's a hard genre to read because there's so much of the same thing over and over, when I really like to read things that are different. THE DARK ROOM has potential, it's well plotted and interesting. I would certainly recommend it to a lot of mystery and procedural......more
