The Last Sanctuary A Novel

At once a heart-pounding , chillingly realistic thriller and a dark plunge into the human psyche,The Last Sanctuaryis the tale of an innocent man accused of murder. When a killing is falsely blamed on Joe Curtis, a Gulf War veteran living on the edge of society, he hides in a dark underworld of armed militias and terrorist cults, running from the cops, federal agents, and from his own tortured soul. In a cat-and-mouse chase across soaring mountains and vast glaciers of Alaska, the complex relationship between the fugitive and his nemesis, a female Native American ATF agent, is rendered unpredictably and superbly. From the Trade Paperback edition.
