The Last Parade

By Joe Shumock

A deadly conspiracy. A nation on edge. One man caught between loyalty and survival.

The fifth installment of Joe Shumock's acclaimed Letter Series plunges readers deep into the shadows of power, deception, and betrayal. The Last Parade is a crime thriller and political conspiracy thriller that grips from the first page and refuses to let go.

In the heart of New Orleans, a routine night explodes into chaos when a woman is gunned down in a small convenience store. Her death sparks a chain of events that leads far beyond the city's streets, reaching into the halls of Washington, D.C., where a secretive plan is taking shape.

Amid the global unrest of the Covid-19 pandemic, Senator Wayne Rayburt and high-ranking military leaders prepare to launch a bold coup that will change America forever. Their weapons are fear, manipulation, and absolute power-hallmarks of a gripping crime fiction thriller and political suspense thriller.

Caught in the middle is Rage Doyle, a former CIA operative still haunted by personal loss. Drawn into the conspiracy at the request of the President himself, Rage and his team must unravel a deadly puzzle where every move could be their last.

Betrayal comes from every corner, allies fall under suspicion, and trust is a luxury no one can afford. This is a crime action thriller and a psychological crime thriller, written at its sharpest.

From the rain-slick streets of New Orleans to the corridors of the Capitol, The Last Parade blends crime thriller and mystery, crime mystery thriller, and detective mystery fiction with a chilling plausibility that will leave readers asking: how far from reality is fiction?

For those who crave mystery detective novels, detective and mystery books, and even shades of noir thriller fiction, Joe Shumock delivers.
