Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Divorced from his wife, recovering from a coma and tired of living in Calusa, Florida, Matthew Hope has reached the end of his spiritual tether. When Jill Lawton hires him to find her husband, who's been seen "up north" with another woman, Hope thinks it's just another failed marriage ... until a body washes up on the beach with no face and Jack Lawton's driver's licence in his pocket.
Hope enlists the help of Steve Carella, from the 87th precinct, and together they find that the Lawtons weren't the ordinary, wholesome, tennis club members that they appeared to be. Jack Lawton is planning to steal a prized Greek artefact from the Calusa museum. Jill has a plan of her own, and both of them are sleeping with Melanie Schwartz, who is also sleeping with Peter Donofrio and Ernest Corrington-- both ex-cons.
The Last Best Hope is a wild ride. It starts out as a sleepy, love-gone-bad story and twists itself into a tightly wound tale of murder, deception and kinky sex. Almost every character is unpredictable and almost every character is a suspect. Ed McBain's two series characters--Hope and Carella--make a powerful team and the friendship that develops through the book lends the story an important sympathetic element. -- Mara Friedman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
