Produktbeschreibung
Set in Gray's fictional small town of Argus, Illinois, Police Chief Art Millage faces one last manhunt As Art prepares to step down after 15 years as Chief and pursue a new life running the local marina, a mysterious figure from his past returns to Argus-Nathan Bedford, the son of Brant Russell, a desperate criminal Art was forced to kill in the line of duty years before. The troubled young Bedford, never having known his father, begins stalking Art. Tensions rise and suspicions grow. When Bedford assaults one of Art's deputies and flees into the same fateful woods where his father died, Art realizes he must confront this threat to the town he has sworn to protect. Armed and on edge, the weary Chief pursues Bedford deep into the dark forest, unsure of the young man's intentions-or his own resolve to take another life if he must. Masterfully blending a tense crime story with poignant character drama, The Last Stop is a riveting exploration of duty, morality, and one man's search for meaning and redemption after a life in the long shadows of tragedy and dedication to the law.
