    About this ebook

    A dying confession.
    Last chance to right an old wrong.
    In Last Right, a prodigal son, a vanished wife, and a dying patriarch combine in a story of betrayal and revenge on the Mexican border.

    Zoë Sharp’s short stories have appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and Strand Magazine, as well as award-winning anthologies in the UK and USA. They have been used in school textbooks, turned into short films, included in many Best Of collections, and nominated twice for the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA) Short Story Dagger.

    *“There are few writers who go right to the top of my TBR pile—Zoe Sharp is one of them.” Stuart MacBride

    *“Zoe Sharp at her very best. Non-stop thriller with a plethora of twists and turns. Strong characters and intriguing plot. Great read.”
