Last Heist

A bank robbery in Washington, D.C. draws the attention of the FBI, though half the office is sidelined with illness. Special Agent Emma Last and her partner Leo Ambrose respond to what appears to be a routine heist, but the crime is anything but ordinary. A masked robber steals forty thousand dollars and forces the bank manager, a guard, and two customers—a mother and daughter—into the vault. His real target is a safety deposit box containing only notebooks. After the robbery, he murders the mother and cuts a lock of her hair, leaving investigators uncertain whether it is a gift or a trophy. As Emma and Leo pursue the suspect, he disappears without a trace. The investigation reveals this is not his first robbery or murder. The team encounters dead end after dead end while the robber remains at large. Driven by financial desperation and cornered with nothing to lose, he may vanish permanently or strike again. The race to stop him intensifies. Last Heist is the fifth book in Mary Stone's FBI series.
