Description
As autumn draws in, a series of unexplained vicious attacks occur in a small northern town renowned for being a bohemian backwater.
As the national media descends, local journalist Roddy Mace attempts to tell the story, but finds the very nature of truth brought into question. He turns to disgraced detective James Brindle for help.
When further attacks occur, the shattered community becomes the focus of an accelerating media that favours immediacy over truth. Murder and myth collide in a folk-crime story about place, identity, and the tangled lives of those who never leave.
These Darkening Days weaves a gripping narrative that examines the complexities of storytelling in an age where perception often trumps reality.
