From the ALEX Award-winning and Edgar-nominated author of How Lucky, this twisty, funny and ultimately uplifting novel follows a father in a race against time to provide for his child. Lloyd McNeil has just learned he has months to live. He also learns that his twenty years as a beat cop in Atlanta hasn’t earned him enough money to take care of his teenage son Bishop after he’s gone. But when Lloyd discovers his police benefits will increase exponentially if he dies in the line of duty, he comes up with a plan. Lloyd begins to throw himself into one life-threatening situation after another to try to get himself killed and to provide for his son . . . but he keeps failing—and surviving. To his shock, his accidental heroics make him an inspirational icon in the community. But time is still running out for Lloyd to get his affairs in order, to teach Bishop the lessons he needs to be a good person, and to say goodbye. Lloyd McNeil’s Last Ride is a surprising, unforgettable blend of suspense, humor and compassion. It is a novel about what we leave behind and what we learn along the way, a big-hearted and stirring story about the depths of a father’s love for his son.
