Despite support from his formerly estranged brother and two grown daughters, his paranoia builds, alienating those closest to him. His only solace is found in the parallels he draws between himself and gifted Soviet-era architect Konstantin Melnikov, who survived Stalin's disfavor by retreating into obscurity. As Martin retraces Melnikov's life and his own fateful decisions, he becomes increasingly unsettled, until the discovery of the harrowing truth about the night of his accident hurtles him toward a deadly confrontation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A gripping journey into the depths of a fractured mind, \u003ci\u003eThe Measure of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e is ultimately a resonant tale of resilience and healing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLiam Durcan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eGarcia's Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Arthur Ellis Best First Novel Award.
