FBI Special Agent Alex Troutt returns in a twisting, heart-pounding thriller.
Three flashes of light illuminate a dark sky. An unspeakable evil devours its prey.

The shimmering view of the sun-drenched ocean can often be nothing more than a mirage. For Alex Troutt, a trip back home for a much-needed summer vacation proves only one thing: greed rules. But how it takes root could destroy her world.

Fueled by the lust of power and money, the shadow of death envelopes her seaside hometown, including those closest to Alex. But as disconnected investigations converge into one focal point, Alex will stop at nothing to blow the entire crime ring straight to hell - even if she has to make the ultimate sacrifice...her life.

Q&A with author John W. Mefford:

Q: Is AT Last (book 6) really the final Alex Troutt thriller?

JWM: Yes -- but only temporarily. The Alex Troutt Thrillers comprise the first sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series. Next up are the Ivy Nash Thrillers - all six novels will be published in 2017. I anticipate at least two more sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series. Each sub-series stands on its own, but the main characters and underlying plot will ultimately connect by the time I publish all books in the Redemption Thriller Series. And yes, Alex will return in another six novels later in the series. It's the most challenging and fulfilling creative endeavor I've undertaken. IN Defiance is the first novel of the Ivy Nash Thrillers and is available now.


Q: Are you sure AT Last isn't the last of Alex? I mean, the tittle seems to suggest it's the last one.

JWM: Trust me, it's only the beginning. I focus on one set of characters for six novels, but subtly weave in the necessary plot elements to have each of the sub-series connect when I reach the final six thrillers in the Redemption Thriller Series. It's been a blast to write.


Q: How are Alex Troutt and Ivy Nash connected?

JWM: If I told you, I'd have to kill you.:) But when you find out over the course of releasing each sub-series in the Redemption Thriller Series, it will make you shudder.


Q: Do I need to read all of the books in the correct order?

JWM: Not necessarily. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, as can each sub-series. But for the most fulfilling reading experience, I recommend reading them in the following order:

Books in the Alex Troutt Thrillers:
AT Bay
AT Large
AT Once
AT Dawn
AT Dusk
AT Last

Books in the Ivy Nash Thrillers:
IN Defiance
IN Pursuit
IN Doubt
Break IN
IN Control
IN The End


Q: When you finally finish all the books in the Redemption Thriller Series, are you just going to retire?

JWM: I'm just getting started. In the near future, I'll be kicking off a co-authoring project with a friend of mine, and I have another mystery-thriller series in mind that I'm really excited about. I could see that series expanding into something much broader. Who knows what my mind will cook up....maybe it will end up being 24 novels as well.
