Perfect for you if...

You love procedural crime thrillers where the threat is personal and the stakes keep escalating with each chapter.
You're already invested in Emma Last's story and want to see how she handles a killer who's turned the tables on her unit.
You enjoy books where the killer has the upper hand and the protagonists are genuinely outmatched and afraid.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalones. This is book nine in a series and assumes you know Emma's history and relationships.
You want a puzzle to solve yourself. The narrative here is about the hunt and survival, not mystery reveals.
You're sensitive to graphic violence. A killer spelling out threats in blood and targeting law enforcement gets visceral.

About this book

Special Agent Emma Last and the Violent Crimes Unit face a new threat after their recent victory against D.C.'s gangs. A killer makes a chilling promise of vengeance, claiming the life of a young FBI recruit and declaring, "I'll spell it out in the blood of one of your agents." As Emma and her team investigate, they discover a second body—a cop working the first crime scene. The VCU realizes the killer is not only watching them but is always one step ahead. The situation grows more dire when they learn he knows where they live and is targeting all of them, not just one agent. Last Resort is the ninth book in the Emma Last series. The killer has made a list, and the team must stop him before it's too late.
