The line between love and vengeance was never thin. It was a fuse. After a deadly shootout between impostor agents and the FBI’s Violent Crimes Unit, Special Agent Emma Last thought nothing could shock her again. But when her friend is found hacked to pieces, her severed hand left on Emma’s doorstep like a calling card, the violence veers into something darker—intimate, targeted, and cruel. And the horror is just beginning. An FBI bomb specialist is next—his mutilated body scattered like shrapnel in his own home. Emma suspects her long-lost sister may be behind the attacks, but the truth is tangled in blood, betrayal, and lies. Whoever the killer is, she’s escalating. Armed with a weapon that defies science and fueled by a personal vendetta, her target isn’t just Emma. It’s everything—and everyone—Emma loves. With guilt mounting and chaos closing in, Emma must outmaneuver a killer who’s always one step ahead. Before the next ignition. Before her team suffocates. Before everything—and everyone—is consumed. Last Stand, the explosive fifteenth and final installment in the Emma Last FBI series by bestselling author Mary Stone, delivers a heart-stopping finale full of devastating twists, hard-won healing, and one unforgettable goodbye. A story that proves family can break you…or save you. And sometimes, it’s hard to tell which is which.

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.
