"version of Agatha Christie's And Than There Were None"
Sally Fenning was being stalked but she never told the
police and it is this man who she believes broke into her
home, knifed her and killed her daughter. The police never
apprehended the killer and Sally's marriage fell apart
under the weight of guilt. She married an older man and
after two years according to the prenuptial agreement, she
was worth forty-six million dollars. One day while stopping at an intersection, Sally is
murdered. Her will names six potential heirs: her ex-
husband, his divorce lawyer, a reporter, a former hitman, a
prosecutor and the stalker. The former hitman Tatum Knight
wants the best friend of his brother, lawyer Jack Swyteck,
to represent him because just before she died Sally tried
to hire him to kill her. As Jack protects his client's
interests, someone kills the heirs one by one because
according to the terms of the will, the last person living
inherits everything. James Grippando's version of Agatha Christie's And Than
There Were None is an action packed thriller. Readers
won't know who the killer is until the author chooses to
reveal it because there are so many suspects with forty-six
million motives. There is no honor among thieves as the
potential heirs play dirty tricks and one even murders the
competition. LAST TO DIE shows how far people will go to
inherit a fortune which is a sad indictment on the heirs
selling their souls as the author intended it to be. This
haunting thriller will long be remembered.
