The Last Man

He spent his life passing judgment—until he crossed the line.

Judge Walter Bannister has it all: power, wealth, respect. But behind the polished veneer of his courtroom and his Bel Aire estate lies a man slowly unraveling. Detached from his privileged life, he finds himself drawn to the one thing he cannot understand—murder.

Presiding over the trial of a cold-blooded killer, Bannister becomes obsessed with what drives a person to kill. Not out of fear. Not out of rage. But for the sheer thrill of it.

Now, the man sworn to uphold the law is about to break it—because the only way to truly understand darkness… is to step into it.

When the justice system fails, who will defend the last man?

Smart, provocative, and razor-sharp, The Last Man is a gripping legal thriller that explores the price of silence, the danger of secrets, and the meaning of justice. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Robert Harris.
