The Last of Her

In this explosive suspense thriller, a disgraced intelligence agent tries to prove her innocence, only to find herself in the crosshairs of a killer who pursues her from the mean streets of Afghanistan to the mean streets of America's heartland.

At the height of the war in Afghanistan, Hella Duran showed herself to be "a good piece of gear," according to her CO. She had a sock full of medals to prove it.

But then she helped orchestrate a drone strike meant to take out the architect of 9/11.

And it all went terribly wrong.

Instead of killing bin Laden, the strike killed an Afghan boy she had come to love, the closest thing she had to a son. Killed most of his family, in fact. And almost killed her.

She wasn't responsible. Her numbers were good. Weren't they? Or is this just what she tells herself to get through the grief-filled nights?

Now, kicked out of the Army, she goes home to the Nebraska Sandhills, only to find that her family and hometown reject her, too. Homeless, in despair, she comes across the one person who knows what really happened on the day of the drone strike.

And somehow he's right there in Sentinel, Nebraska. But why?

Her discovery draws the attention of a relentless killer, sent by a dark conspiracy that will stop at nothing to protect its secret. A secret so shattering that, if revealed, it will deal a death blow to American democracy.

Will she uncover the truth? Or will this be the last of herburied with her family under a moonlit dune deep in the Nebraska Sandhills?
