The Final Reckoning (Paperback)

His last challenge: live long enough to save the lives of those he loves. Cold-blooded killer JimBone Wheeler blames Tom McMurtrie for putting him on death row. He once vowed that he'd bring "a reckoning" on Tom and everyone the southern lawyer holds dear. When Wheeler escapes from prison, he aims to fulfill his promise. Victim by victim, he's getting closer to his ultimate target. But for Tom, who's dying of cancer, the role of savior and protector is a struggle that is becoming more desperate by the hour. As the body count mounts, Tom, his partner, Rick Drake, and his best friend, Bocephus Haynes, brace for a confrontation like nothing they have ever faced before. This battle will be waged not in a courthouse but on the streets and fields of north Alabama. With all those he loves at risk, Tom must save his family, his friends, and his legacy from a killer whose hunger for retribution knows no bounds. Now, as time ticks down and fate and vengeance close in, who will survive Wheeler's final reckoning?

Fri, 7 Jun 2019 | Review by: Breakaway R.

I needed to have read the previous books. I read this book on my Kindle and had no idea that it was the last in a series. Despite that, the storyline was easy to follow. James 'Jimbone' Wheeler has been on Death Row due to Tom McMurtrie and his family and close friends. Tom visits him for what he thinks is the last time and is told that Jimbone will kill all the people he holds dear in The Final Reckoning. Tom is under a death sentence of his own, he has stage 4 cancer and knows he has not much longer to live but then discovers that Jimbone has managed to escape and is literally gunning for everyone that Tom loves with the help of his accomplice and lover Manny Heyes. There are so many characters both friends and family in this book that I was struggling to work out who was who and what had happened in the previous books as one by one the death toll mounts ending in the kidnap of Tom’s precious grandson Jackson. This is definitely a book where you needed to have read the others in the series because although I followed the plot, I felt no real sympathy with any of the characters, but this was because I had no idea of what had happened to them before. I would be interested in reading more by this author as I enjoyed his style of writing, but it would need to be the first book in a series not the last!!
