| From the author of the stunning bestseller Days of Drums comes a novel of Washington intrigue that thrusts the reader into a whirlwind of murder spawned by elaborately masked scandals in the corridors of power. When General Griffin North， a highly decorated African American icon， is killed in a suspicious plane crash， the special commission， led by renowned federal judge Simon Esterhaus， deems it a tragic accident caused by pilot error. But Mollie Smith of the Criminal Investigation Division vows to keep the investigation alive -- single-handedly and on her own terms， if necessary. Certain the general was assassinated， and keenly aware that certain officials in high places would have stopped at nothing to keep a black man from a possible vice-presidential nomination， Mollie intensifies the pitch of her inquiry. Then Mollie -- her investigation nearly complete -- is found murdered. Rachel Collins， Mollie s protégé and close friend， is left to follow the scent of conspiracy enveloping the dead. With the help of Mollie s brother， Logan， the head of the hermetically-sealed FBI team tracking domestic terrorists， Rachel comes head to head with the Engineer， an ingenious and ruthless killer whose sole goal is to cut short her inquiry -- and her life. For Rachel， this assassin becomes her only link to a conspiracy that is much more deadly and far-reaching than she thought possible. It becomes clear to Rachel that she is marked by a man whose mysterious resources and top-secret information continually help him to thwart her. From its harrowing first scene to its conclusion， Last Rights is a masterfully crafted thriller spinning around an unforgettable heroine. Phillip Shelby once again demonstrates that he is among the great thriller writers in america today. |
