Description
A disgraced intelligence agent, trying to prove her innocence, puts her family in the crosshairs of a dark conspiracy in this relentless thriller by the award-winning author of Rattlesnake Daddy.
As a gray, an Army intelligence agent trained to blend in, Hella Duran has served more tours in Afghanistan than she can count. She's "a good piece of gear," according to her CO. But when she’s blamed for a bad drone strike that kills others and almost kills her, she’s sent home with an Other Than Honorable discharge.
It wasn't her fault. Her numbers were good. Still, she doesn't fight it. All she wants now is to heal up in Fort Living Room.
When her family and community reject her, she realizes her only way home is to find out what really happened. But her investigation draws the attention of the dark conspiracy behind it all.
Can she call on the fierce, unstoppable hero inside to protect herself and her family? Or will the truth be buried with them under a moonlit field deep in the Nebraska Sandhills?
Fans of Winter’s Bone, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Breaking Bad will love The Last of Her.
This novel is a revision of a book previously published as All Done with Dying.
