'Beautifully written' S. A. Cosby Sometimes to find yourself, you
have to go back to where you came from. You just might not like
what you find. After failing in his new life, Luke decides to go
home, back to the one place where he'd once felt he belonged. But
that was a long time ago and now he has to face the life that he
chose to run away from: The Combine. The gang that his uncle now
leads, but which his father still runs from prison. Brutal,
unforgiving . . . family. Reunited with his childhood friend Callie
and tagging along on jobs with her and her boyfriend Pretty Baby,
Luke soon discovers that he might have a place back home after all.
When another gang try to encroach on their turf, The Combine and
Luke must go to war to save all that they know. But in trying to be
someone you're not, can you ever find out who you really are?
Family is everything and blood is love. Praise for Jordan Harper:
'When I say The Last King of California subverts the stereotypical
American Outlaw Mythos, it's the highest praise I can give it. No
one is thinking deeper about what crime fiction is than Jordan
Harper' S. A. Cosby 'Burns bright and fast' Peter Swanson 'Darkly
irresistible' Megan Abbott 'Urgent and beautiful' Lauren Beukes
'Fast-paced and gritty' Amy Engel 'Truly astounding' Robin
Wasserman 'Easily one of the best things I'll read this year.
Visceral and violent. An exploration o family and loyalty. Reads
like poetry. Bravo!' Chris McDonald '[A] gripping and emotional
journey . . . Authors paint pictures with words, and like the Mona
Lisa or Van Gogh's Sunflowers, some of their books are instant
masterpieces sure to inspire readers and elicit envy from fellow
wordsmiths. The Last King of California is simply that good. Jordan
Harper wields words like weapons . . . It is like poetry on the
page' BoloBooks Top Read of 2022 'Blistering, brutal, with a big
beating (black) heart, The Last King of California confirms Harper
as one of the finest writers of noir today, with what's easily a
best-of-the-year book' James. D. F. Hannah, Shamus-winning author
of the Henry Malone novels
