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 St., Boothbay Harbor, will host “Last Light with Maine’s Blue‑Collar Author” on Saturday, Oct. 3, beginning at 4 p.m. Guests are encouraged to pick up a copy of "Last Light" prior to the event, via Sherman’s books, Amazon, or the author's website 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.”
