The Last Days of Night

Why it’s on the list: The current wars as a legal thriller: a twenty-six-year-old lawyer takes Westinghouse’s defence against Edison’s 312 patent suits, with Tesla in the middle of it.

Where I saw it: A reply to @moseskagan’s question on X, April 13, 2025 — “What historical fiction should I read next?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/moseskagan/status/1911280597928231261

Kyle’s own note on the line reads “really enjoyable.”
