THE LAST PAGE is a suspense thriller situated at the intersection of two seemingly unconnected domains—the realm of academic publishing and the high-stakes world of cocaine trafficking.Dr. Cameron McClellan has just moved his family to the Gulf coast of Florida. After securing a new job at a local university, he is approached by the editor at a newly formed publishing company to write a book for them. Unbeknownst to Cameron, however, the publisher is merely a front for illicit activity. After the body of a colleague washes ashore on a local beach—and as they begin to uncover more details of the operation—Cameron and his wife, Kat, begin to further suspect that something isn’t right. As the couple gets closer to solving the mystery, catastrophes strike the McClellan family. Only Luis, the detective friend of the McClellans, stands a chance to help the them all survive.
