When hired by a beautiful and enigmatic woman to
find her missing younger sister, private investigator Roland Ford immediately
senses that the case is not what it seems. He is soon swept up in a web of lies
and secrets as he searches for the teenager, and even his new client cannot be
trusted. His investigation leads him to a secretive charter school, skinhead
thugs, a cadre of American Nazis hidden in a desert compound, an
arch-conservative celebrity evangelist--and, finally, to the girl herself. The
Last Good Guy is Ford's most challenging case to date, one that will leave him
questioning everything he thought he knew about decency, honesty, and the battle
between good and evil...if it doesn't kill him first.
““[T. Jefferson Parker] does a masterly job of ratcheting up the tension,
and the often lyrical prose is a pleasure to read. This entry could well earn
three-time Edgar Award–winner Parker a fourth Edgar.”
--Publishers Weekly
(starred review)
“In this powerful thriller, Parker leaves us aching for the damaged souls left
behind by false prophets and hate-mongers, and hoping that there still really
are some good guys.”
--Booklist (starred
review)
“In the third case for his franchise hero, the prolific Parker summons the
memory of retro hard-boiled crime yarns.”
--Kirkus Reviews
“T. Jefferson Parker’s third Roland Ford novel (following last year’s Swift
Vengeance) should interest fans of Michael Connelly and John Sandford. Parker
has had a long and successful career, but Ford is perhaps his best character so
far, and this series just keeps getting better.”
--The Real Book Spy
“T. Jefferson Parker draws the classical hard-boiled detective story out of its
mythic past and into our contemporary landscape, much like the last great
exemplar of the form, Ross Macdonald – and like Macdonald, Parker goes deeper
with each book. The payoff for his readers is serious thrills.”
--Jonathan Lethem
“The Last Good Guy, the third outing for smart, tough, insightful, sympathetic
Private Investigator Roland Ford, is nothing short of brilliant as it morphs
from a simple missing persons case into a complex and nuanced exploration of the
dark side of American culture.”
--John Lescroart
"T. Jefferson Parker’s The Last Good Guy is a riveting crime drama with an
engaging hero up against insurmountable odds as he tries to track down a woman’s
missing sister. With intelligence, action, and humor, the pages turn themselves
to a thrilling climax."
--Mark Greaney
“Fabulously atmospheric. Parker writes with a cinematic eye and a thrillingly
dark heart.”
--Peter James
