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 series is just the first series in the Redemption Thriller Collection. Next up is the Ivy Nash series -- all six thrillers will be published in 2017. I anticipate at least two more series in the collection. Each series stands on its own, but the main characters and underlying plot will ultimately connect by the time I publish all books in the collection. And yes, Alex will return in another six novels later in the collection. It’s the most challenging and fulfilling creative endeavor I’ve undertaken. IN Defiance is the first novel in the Ivy Nash series and is available for pre-order 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. The Redemption Thriller Collection allows me to focus on one set of characters for six novels, but subtly weave in the necessary plot elements to have each of the series connect when I reach the final six thrillers in the collection. 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 series in the Redemption Thriller Collection, it will blow you away.
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 series. But for the most fulfilling reading experience, I recommend reading them in the following order:
Books in the Alex Troutt Thriller Series AT Bay AT Large AT Once AT Dawn AT Dusk AT Last
Books in the Ivy Nash Thriller Series 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 Collection, 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 a collection of its own.
