This tragic, Hamlet-esque noir tells the stirring and brutal coming of age story of young Luke Crosswhite, who after years apart from his criminal family returns to their flock deep in the California desert. Perfect for readers of S.A. Cosby and Don Winslow.

Luke's father is serving time for a brutal murder that Luke himself witnessed; now, his uncle vies for power and rival biker gangs encroach on the family's various criminal enterprises. A sensitive boy grown hard man, Luke navigates the vicious pressures of home, and the loyalties to his old friend, Cassie, who has hatched a scheme with her boyfriend Pretty Baby to escape the control of the gang, the Combine. Hanging over these desperate, lonesome parties is the gang's motto, tattooed indelibly across the heart: Blood is Love.

The Last King of California is a story of the West unlike any you will read.

When I say The Last King of California subverts the stereotypical American Outlaw Mythos, it's the highest praise I can give it. No one is thinking deeper about what crime fiction is than Jordan Harper. --S. A. Cosby

Burns bright and fast --Peter Swanson

Darkly irresistible --Megan Abbott
