Book Synopsis

When Carter McCoy learns he hasn't got long to live, it's time to take care of something he has wanted to do for years--kill the man responsible for his daughter's death. But Carter has no experience killing and isn't even sure he can do it.

Breanna needs to escape her toxic home life or end up living a life of regret. When she happens upon the old man with a rifle, she sees a light at the end of her dark tunnel. Carter may be the answer to her problems, if he lives long enough to help her.

Carter is a man on borrowed time, and what he does with the rest of it could change who he has been his whole life. With the police closing in one step ahead of death, Carter has the opportunity to change Breanna's life and give her the chance his daughter never had. With his trusty dog, Chester, at his side, Carter's last act will be the one that defines who he is.

Review Quotes

"Featuring an anti-hero straight out of an Elmore Leonard novel, The Last Few Miles of Road is a twisty-turny country noir with a heart of gold. Beetner conjures up a cast of memorably heartbreaking characters, featuring an angel of death killer trying to make the world better, one hit at a time, and a femme fatale in the guise of a desperate teenager, eager to live a better life than the one she was dealt. Carter and Bree are the 21st century Bonnie and Clyde, and I can't wait to see what's next for them!"-Halley Sutton, USA Today bestselling author of The Hurricane Blonde

"Beetner breaks out with The Last Few Miles of Road, a perfectly crafted crime story. Terminally-ill vigilante Carter McCoy is the hero we've been waiting for, finding purpose and connection in his waning days as he weighs the moral burden of taking justice into his own hands. I absolutely loved it."-Laura McHugh, award-winning author of What's Done in Darkness

"Beetner has spun another notable tale here. Noir at its best."-David Swinson, author of The Second Girl and Sweet Thing
