The past has a pulse. And it’s hunting her. FBI Special Agent Emma Last is still trying to catch her breath after what went down in Salem. The trauma lingers. The secrets she’s held tight? Not so secret anymore. And as her team reels from the fallout, her once-solid foundation is starting to crack. And that’s not even the worst of it. When a rookie DC cop is gunned down in a federal garage by someone wearing an FBI windbreaker, the storm only intensifies. The killer might be posing as one of their own—or worse, might actually be one of them. Before Emma can make sense of the ambush, another officer’s gunned down. Now it’s not just murder—it’s a message. The media is circling. Tensions are high. And the arrival of a new agent with a murky past is the last thing she needs. As questions mount and alliances shift, Emma must navigate a minefield of suspicion, betrayal, and a personal vendetta that may trace back to a sister she’s never met. One with a dangerous grudge—and a growing body count. Last Shield, the gripping fourteenth book in the Emma Last FBI series by bestselling author Mary Stone, is a razor-sharp psychological thriller where trust can be weaponized—and the enemy might already be inside the circle.>

Mary Stone lives among the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains of East Tennessee with her two dogs, four cats, a couple of energetic boys, and a very patient husband. As a young girl, she would go to bed every night, wondering what type of creature might be lurking underneath. But instead of asking her parents to look for her, Mary looked herself. Scared, sure, but she just needed to know. Needed to see with her own eyes. It wasn’t until she was older that she learned that the creatures she needed to most fear were human. Mary has always adored puzzles of any kind and could often be found sitting in a corner with a pencil scrunched tightly in her hand, an open puzzle book on her lap. This isn't to say she's a loner. Quite the contrary, Mary has always been a leader taking her friends on many exciting adventures to hunt down and capture an assortment of bad guys pulled from her imagination. Today, instead of walking that imaginary beat, she now creates vivid stories with courageous, strong heroines and dastardly villains. She invites you to enter her world of serial killers, FBI agents but never damsels in distress. Her female characters can handle themselves, going toe-to-toe with any male character, protagonist or antagonist. Come on, open a book. Mary dares you to look under the bed with her.
