“A fabulous series starter… 5*.” (Verified Amazon Purchaser)
The last time Detective Jamie Carver involved a would-be victim in his hunt for a serial killer, it ended badly – VERY badly. Now they want him to do it again, only this time the ‘victim’ is a Dominatrix. As if he hasn’t enough on his plate.
A brutal killer poised to strike again
Shadows of the past that still haunt his dreams
An investigation under mounting pressure to succeed
A beautiful woman whose fantastical lifestyle may be key to finding a killer
And that’s not counting the young girl whose life he’s trying to save from ruin, or the ambitious colleague scheming to bring him down.
As the kill-count mounts, signs point to a link with Carver’s first serial killer case – that of the notorious Escort Killer, Edmund Hart. But Hart died when he hung himself in prison, so how can that be?
This is just one of the mysteries Carver must solve in this gripping first outing for the detective who knows his reputation as ‘The Country’s Foremost Serial Sex Crime Investigator” is built on sand. And when the killer strikes at the heart of the investigation, he knows that if he is to protect those he cares about, he must confront what he fears most – his own failings.
The first in the Jamie Carver Series, and Book #1 of The Worshipper Trilogy, LAST GASP is a novel of murder, deception, sexual intrigue, and human weakness. It is a story about one man’s struggle to put the past behind him, and save those he loves.
ROBERT F BARKER is a former, thirty-year served police detective. LAST GASP is the first in a series of gritty crime thrillers featuring his resourceful but sometimes conflicted murder detective, Jamie Carver.
