Live the Last Day

By Pelham Pugh

Vernon Bruce thought he had escaped the ghosts of his past. Fresh out of prison for murders he didn't commit, he returns to his boyhood home on the Florida Panhandle, hoping to rebuild a life for himself, his son Casey, and his nephew Cliff. But the quiet countryside hides shadows darker than any prison cell.

His brother Rof-once presumed dead-has resurfaced, pulling strings in a bloody struggle for power. Old friends become dangerous foes, loyalties fracture, and the next generation of the Bruce Family is caught in the undertow of crime, revenge, and survival.

As Casey is drawn into a perilous new world and Cliff wrestles with the truth about his father, Vern must decide how far he'll go to protect the boys he loves and whether he can stop history from repeating itself.

A gripping Southern noir of family, betrayal, and redemption, Live the Last Day delivers raw emotion and relentless tension, bringing the Bruce family saga to its unforgettable conclusion.
