Advance Praise

"The Last Girl features a masterful mix of murder; mystery, and mayhem as hot as its tropical settings. Danny Lopez's turn at postmodern noir evokes the very best from the likes of Elmore Leonard, Sandra Brown, and Don Winslow. This is crime writing at its level best, a twisty, turny tale that's smart, sexy, and sensational." --Jon Land, USA Today best-selling author

"Noir comes to Sarasota, makes a brief and lovely stopover in Mexico City, and reaches its stunning climax in the small city on the Gulf of Mexico where it all began. If you like meaty dialogue, a cynical protagonist, a messy investigation with ever surprising twists and turns, corrupt cops and lawyers, a hint of sex and love, and an ending you won't see coming, this is the book for you. A gang buster debut for an outstanding writer."

--H. Terrell Griffin, award-winning author of the national best-selling Matt Royal series

"Danny Lopez's novel about an out- of -work journalist drawn into a missing person's case hits all the right notes. The Last Girl is a fast and fun read."

--James O Born, best-selling author

"The Last Girl is a boozy, hard-boiled trek through the sun drenched streets of Sarasota Florida to the darkened jungles of Mexico where everyone's playing an angle. A wild ride!"

--Matt Coyle, Anthony Award-winning author of Dark Fissures
