When you open a new Josh Lanyon, you just know you're going to spend time in the company of a master. He never lets you down.  I galloped through The Parting Glass in one night and skimmed In A Dark Wood the next morning, just to refresh my memory of how Luke and Tim were at the beginning.  The new story picks up the lives of the sensitive alcoholic writer and his patient cop lover three years after the incident in the Pine Barrens in which Tim saves Luke and loses his soul. Their reunion after a three-year separation is an achingly intense psychological pas de deux. The exploration of alcoholism feels so authentic you can taste the whiskey. Poignant, funny, and deliciously satisfying. Let's hope this is not really a parting glass, and we get to visit Tim and Luke again.
