The Twilight's Last Gleaming by Paul Moskowitz keeps begging the main character to answer the question, "How best to serve your country?" Whether police investigator Moretti is searching for clues in a tangled mess of a case involving the military and many unexplained deaths or wondering if he still wants to do what he is doing for a living, this question seems to be the theme of this fast paced novel. I am a big fan of novels with more dialogue than detail, so Moskowitz made me happy as a reader right away when I cracked the book open. Readers will probably be plagued (I was and am) by the same question posed to Moretti by the finish of the story. Great book!

This novel has a very thought provoking what if... It follows along the line of a real incident so closely that it makes you wonder if it couldn't have possibly happened that way. There is a surprise ending that was satifying but controversial. One you start this book you won't want to put it down until you have finished it.

In Paul Moskowitz's novel "The Twilight's Last Gleaming" the reader is introduced to Lieutenant Jack Moretti a NYPD homicide detective. Moretti leads us step by step through the discovery of multiple murders that he suspects are somehow related. Mr. Moskowitz effectively draws us into this most believable of events, in a plot that keeps us turning pages in search of the truth. Clearly we are sure to hear more from this talented writer.

This book(s) was first published by Shorewood in the 60's. Then by Kodansha in the 70's and now by Farrar Strauss & Giroux. I have the kodansha edition. It is in 4 slip cased volumes, gorgeously presented. The set includes about 1100 full colour reproductions with details on the opposite page. The paper is not gloss and the images are printed as close to full size as possible so they are probably represenative of the real thing. I hope to keep my copies till I die.
