From the reviews of The Last Darkness:
‘Riveting … The Last Darkness is so atmospheric you really do lose your sense of time and place as you delve deeper into Perlman’s world. The dialogue and tension are superbly crafted, and Perlman is a believable, well-rounded character. A terrific read.’
Publishing News
‘Campbell Armstrong’s Perlman feels like a three-dimensional human being, sore feet and all … There’s a Columbo-meets-Rebus feel about him.’
Glasgow Sunday Herald
‘Atmospheric and gripping, this tale of deceit, corruption and greed is hard to put down as Armstrong returns with the shabbily charismatic and irrepressible Perlman.’
Aberdeen Evening Express
‘What a find this is. A tough, uncompromising look at society’s underbelly.’
Liverpool Echo
‘How many other novelists are there out there whose work would be as enjoyable as this?’

WHITE RAGE is all the more chilling, more suspenseful and so frightening plausible, because these crimes, these hatreds, these dark secrets of people who slither and skulk throughout this tale inhabit our world: Xenophobia, race supremacy, and the ever present underworld mob bosses all combine to pull all light and peace from a city trying to revitalize itself into a safe, cosmpolitan center for all people. A young Indian kindergarten school teacher is shot point blank in the head in front of her terrified class, an Asian man is pushed off a balcony to his death by an nonchalant, coldhearted woman, who seethes underneath with revenge for past nightmares. And that just begins a frightening descent into terror for the people of Glasgow..
Thank heavens Detective Lou Perlman's back to sort it all out, including his own set of dark mysteries and secrets closer to his heart - if you haven't met Perlman yet, you'll find him in two previous Armstrong novels, THE BAD FIRE and THE LAST DARKNESS. Both also HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Readers who have followed Det. Lou Perlman's career since he first appeared within the pages of the other Glasgow books, The Bad Fire and The Last Darkness and will feel compelled to read this one as a way of continuing their love affair with the charming, tortured, and enigmatic detective.
Mr. Armstrong combines clever plotting, a high level of complex, intrigue and characterization, sustained suspense and takes readers on a joyride with some fast paced action and plot twisters, enough to delight and satisfy anyone who loves not only great crime novels but intelligent,lyrical prose too. Treat yourself. More Perlman, please!
