The Last Thing

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon in May, a professional assassin targets a newlywed couple as they emerge from church. It's a perfect shooting solution, but Jack Tyrrell, former Green Beret and U.S. Marshal, happens to stroll by just as the shooter prepares to fire. Tyrrell saves the bride and groom, but the assassin escapes to resume his serial killings of newlyweds. Why would a professional hitman target couples as they exit their wedding ceremonies? And why, six years earlier, was his first-known target Tyrrell's wife Maggie? Was she part of the serial murders? Tyrrell, with the help of his guardian angel, Harry Mitchum, will do whatever he has to do to catch his wife's killer. Even if it's the last thing he ever does. "If Dostoyevsky had created an action hero, that hero would be Jack Tyrrell. He's a good man who did a horrible thing and suffers the consequences for years afterward. Tyrrell's conscience not only never leaves him, it drags him down - he can rationalize his past behavior, but he can't forgive himself for what he did. In The Last Thing, Geoff Loftus has mixed Crime and Punishment with a blam-blam action protagonist, and the result is another soulful, action-packed story in the Tyrrell series." - Theodore George, author of The Deadly Homecoming and The Murders on the Square
