With his memory in shreds and his life crumbling around him, can Xavier hold on to the focus he needs to survive?

Brief Summary After the Lights Go Out by John Vercher

John Vercher started his writing career with one of the best debuts in recent memory (THREE-FIFTHS), which was as noir as crime fiction can get, but, more importantly, gave us one of the best examinations of race and racial belonging in literature. With his second novel, Vercher pivots away from crime fiction while doubling down on the noir. Brutal and dark and heart-breaking and resonant with an almost lyrical examination of family … of commitment … of the drive and will to live. AFTER THE LIGHTS GO OUT reads like a psychological thriller, but, in this case, the impending sense of dread is much more real than some masked killer. Vercher opens up the skulls of his characters and lets us peek between our fingers at the mazes of their minds. Beautifully written and brilliantly paced, this book is dark tragedy that lives up to its name, sticking around with you long after the lights go out.
