Publisher Description
The first Angel Dare novel, MONEY SHOT, earned universal acclaim: finalist for the Edgar, Anthony and Barry Awards, won the Crimespree Award and chosen by fans as their favorite Hard Case Crime title of all time. Angel’s story continued in CHOKE HOLD and – after almost 15 years – it comes to a blazing conclusion in THE GET OFF.
WILL THE CHANCE FOR A NEW LIFE BE ANGEL’S LAST SHOT?
Tagged as a cop killer when a mission of vengeance goes wrong, Angel Dare finds herself on the run, with an unexpected burden: she’s pregnant. Her desperate flight takes Angel across the American west, where cattle barons lock horns with rodeo bullfighters and life can end suddenly and brutally. A renegade couple living off the grid near the border might offer a chance of escape – but can Angel reach them in time…?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Faust delivers an outstanding conclusion to her Angel Dare trilogy (after Choke Hold). It's been nearly 15 years since readers last heard from former porn star and occasional sex worker Gina Moretti, aka Angel Dare. Now she's over 40, pregnant, and not sure what to do about it. When a revenge scheme against her sworn enemy, mobster Vukasin, goes horribly wrong, Angel accidentally kills a cop and is forced on the run. She barely makes it out of California alive before landing in Yuma, Ariz., where an old friend arranges for her to find sanctuary with an elderly couple living off the grid in the far reaches of Washington State, near the Canadian border. A professional rodeo bullfighter is tasked with ushering Angel to safety, and the two embark on a raucous road odyssey across the West. Faust fortifies her classic setup with pulpy sidesteps into rodeo culture and the world of wealthy cattle barons, mashing up picaresque, neo-noir, and old-fashioned western into a supremely satisfying saga. hroughout, the author's signature tonal blend of world-weary toughness and poignant vulnerability is on full display. It's a remarkable final act for a top-shelf series.
