Román sleduje Sorchu O’Donovanovú, ktorá s charizmatickým hudobníkom Conom Dalym uteká z írskych brehov do Londýna, kde ich kapela The Fishermen dosiahne slávu, no tá odhalí temnú tvár úspechu a jedného dňa Con zmizne bez stopy. O dve desaťročia neskôr sa kapela rozhodne vrátiť na pódium na veľkom charitatívnom koncerte, pričom návrat môže odhaliť utajenú pravdu a zopakovať tragédiu. Knihu zrevízoval syn autorky Harry Whittaker a ide o znovuoživený raný román Lucindy Rileyovej, ktorý stojí za pozornosť pre atmosféru írskeho pobrežia, silný vývoj postáv (najmä Helen) a napínavú vyšetrovaciu linku. Čitateľovi však môžu prekážať toxické vzťahy a miestami nepresvedčivá, až „slizká“ Conova láska, hoci v závere čiastočne získa vierohodnosť.

Posledná ľúbostná pieseň od Lucindy Riley, raný román prepracovaný jej synom, vychádza v preklade Michaely Kočanovej. Sorcha O’Donovanová vyrastie na írskom západe, utečie s charizmatickým hudobníkom Conom Dalym do Londýna, kde s jeho kapelou The Fishermen zažijú slávu — ktorá sa však zmení na hrozbu, keď Con jedného dňa zmizne bez stopy. Román spája hudbu, tajomstvá a zničujúcu slávu v dojímavom a zároveň temnom príbehu o láske, strate a dôsledkoch minulosti.
