A Hard Darkness by Ray Turner > Likes and Comments

My private eye novel A HARD DARKNESS was inspired by the stories and panache of the genre’s great practitioners, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and especially Robert B. Parker. It was recently named a FINALIST in the 2025 Next Generation Indie Book Awards contest (First Novel category). Readers call it “first-rate modern noir” with a captivating story, great writing, and a protagonist who “exhibits a rare humanity toward the people he encounters.” This 5-star novel follows PI Nash Tobin as he investigates the bizarre death of a troubled teen. A hardboiled mystery with heart, A Hard Darkness by Ray Turner is available at Amazon and is free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers.
