Description

Elira Dukagjini, a mysterious partner in a firm specializing in blood law, teams up with James Goodman, an American ICE agent, to save Mirjeta Gjakova, the woman James loves, after the Albanian mafia snatches her. Drawn to Mirjeta through her desire for James, Elira struggles against an unknown, pernicious virus and the control of her senior law partner, the sinister Dr. Aconcio, who has his own agenda. A group of grieving mothers and wives calling themselves Code Red and a Kosovar imam, fanatics in the U.S. and the Balkans, propel the trio into a private reign of terror from which there can be only one end.

Complex, gritty, and brutally human, The Last Stratiote alternates between dramatic action and a challenging, richly symbolic exploration of life, religion, and philosophy. It is a story informed by the intrinsic motives underlying our desire for love, lust, revenge, healing, and redemption.

Advance Praise

“The Last Stratiote contains the relentless pace of James Patterson’s novels; the political intrigue and pragmatic characters found in Daniel Silva’s and Jeffery Archer’s books; and the historicity, philosophy, and theology of Anne Rice’s work.” ―Lee Gooden, 5-star Clarion Review

“Neal Reilly’s (Grounding Magic, 2013, etc.) latest novel sees her interest in stories about resilient women caught in magical, otherworldly circumstances veer in a new, darker direction.”—Kirkus Review
