THE LAST TOMORROW
JAHN, RYAN D.
April 1952. Los Angeles. After thirteen-year-old Sandy Duncan shoots his stepfather in the temple and
carves a symbol into the corpse's forehead in imitation of a comic book, district attorney Seymour Markley
launches a grand jury investigation into the murder and its causes, an investigation that could implicate
east coast crime boss James Manning and end his thirty-year career. Also potentially implicated: the
comic book's creator, Eugene Dahl, who now spends his mornings working as a milkman and his
evenings warming bar stools. Threatening notes begin appearing nailed to his front door, notes that draw
him to a downtown hotel where one of the district attorney's witnesses, one of the men who could bring
down James Manning, is being held. There, Eugene finds the witness murdered, as well as the police
officer charged with protecting him; and he finds himself framed for those murders. He's forced to go on
the run, and, in order to clear his name, to devise a plan that involves deeds far worse than anything he's
been framed for. And he must commit those deeds with the police right behind him.

LET HIM GO
WATSON, LARRY
Dalton, North Dakota. It’s September 1951: years since George and Margaret Blackledge lost their son
James when he was thrown from a horse; months since his widow Lorna took off with their only grandson
and married Donnie Weboy. Margaret is steadfast, resolved to find and retrieve her grandson Jimmy —
the one person in this world keeping James’s memory alive — while George, a retired sheriff, is none too
eager to stir up trouble. Unable to sway his wife from her mission, George takes to the road with Margaret
by his side, traveling through the Dakota badlands to Gladstone, Montana. When Margaret tries to
convince Lorna to return home to North Dakota and bring little Jimmy with her, the Blackledges find
themselves entangled with the entire Weboy clan, who are determined not to give up the boy without a
fight. From the author who brought us Montana 1948, Let Him Go is pitch-perfect, gutsy, and unwavering.
Larry Watson is at his storytelling finest in this unforgettable return to the American West.
