Last Chance
The badge stops at the asphalt. The reckoning goes all the way to the border.
In the sun-bleached, unforgiving expanse of the New Mexico badlands, justice is a commodity few can afford. When a crew of rogue paramilitary mercenaries slaughters an off-grid family and leaves a ten-year-old Navajo boy to bake to death in the desert dirt, the federal bureaucracy demands paperwork, conference calls, and patience.
Senior Deputy US Marshal Eldridge Sample is out of patience.
Stripped of his authority and operating entirely off the grid, Sample surrenders his federal badge to hunt the men responsible. Led by the cold-blooded Canyon Jack Tate, the heavily armed mercenaries believe the desolate San Juan Basin offers the ultimate sanctuary. They believe their suppressed weapons, armored trucks, and stolen capital make them untouchable.
They are wrong.
Armed with a Glock 19, an AR-15, and a ruthless, uncompromising will, Sample tracks the predators across the scorching desert. From a blood-soaked shootout in a border-town dive bar to a claustrophobic, high-altitude sniper duel in the inescapable trap of Diablo Canyon, the hunt escalates into a brutal game of attrition.
Outgunned, bleeding, and pushed to the absolute edge of human endurance, Sample must discard the rulebook of law enforcement and embrace the primal violence of the desert to ensure Jack Tate never crosses the border.
Last Chance is a relentless, action-packed neo-noir western thriller. Blending the atmospheric, cynical grit of John D. MacDonald with the razor-sharp, pragmatic dialogue of Elmore Leonard, this gritty crime novel is a must-read for fans of No Country for Old Men, Justified, and Yellowstone.
