Last Light Launch Party!
Jerry Farnham’s Last Light Brings the Red at Night Saga to a Powerful Close
What happens when the secrets of Boothbay Harbor finally rise to the surface? Last Light, the much anticipated fourth novel in Jerry Farnham’s beloved Red at Night series, delivers a gripping and emotional finale that fans have been waiting for. Blending mystery, romance, and the unmistakable humor and grit of coastal Maine, Last Light shines a revealing beam on the Finn family who readers have come to love—especially Jack Finn and Melissa Andrews, Boothbay Harbor’s iconic power couple.
While longtime readers will relish the culmination of storylines seeded throughout Red at Night, Red in the Morning, and First Light, newcomers will find Last Light compelling on its own, showcasing rich character depth, high‑stakes drama, and the authentic working‑waterfront detail that has become Farnham’s signature.
Last Light invites readers into a world where past choices collide with present consequences. Comical moments, heartbreaking plot twists, and long‑awaited revelations weave together to create a story the reader won’t be able to put down. As the final threads of the series come together, readers will find themselves racing through the pages—eager to discover how the light finally breaks through.
To celebrate the release of Last Light, Brady’s Restaurant, 25 Union Street, Boothbay Harbor, Maine, will host “Last Light with Maine’s Blue‑Collar Author” on Saturday, October 3rd, beginning at 4:00 PM. Guests are encouraged to pick up a copy of Last Light prior to the event, via Sherman’s books or Amazon as a limited number will be available at the event. Guests will have the opportunity to meet Jerry Farnham, have their book signed, meet some of the “local” characters from the book and enjoy the music of Brett Slater. Brett is a popular midcoast Maine acoustic guitarist/vocalist, playing folk, rock, and singer-songwriter music from the 60s to today, with even a bit of “yacht rock” thrown in…. plus, song parodies, and the wildly popular “dad jokes”.
In the coastal town of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, the line between summer tourists and hardened locals is clearly drawn. Jack Finn, a hardworking lobsterman, is merely going through the motions of life, haunted by the tragic loss of his girlfriend. He isn't looking for a change—until he crosses paths with Melissa Andrews.
A world-famous actress and singer, Melissa has fled the suffocating glare of the Hollywood paparazzi to reclaim her soul and rethink her future. But as two worlds collide, a new mystery emerges: Why is a lone lobster boat heading out to sea just as the rest of the fleet returns? Written with the authentic detail only a true local can provide, Jerry Farnham delivers a gripping tale of suspense, hidden community secrets, and unexpected romance.
