The Last Escort (A Val Buchanan Investigation, Book 10)

1929, New Orleans. Smoke, brass, and the end of an era.

Ten years after hanging up his badge, ex-Pinkerton Val Buchanan is restless. The papers talk of bank robberies and Tommy guns, of armored trucks and men who think they can outrun the Crash. Then a telegram comes from Chicago: a request for "consultation" on a botched convoy job that left three guards dead.

In the swelter of New Orleans, Buchanan finds a city drowning in music and corruption. The FBI wants headlines. The Pinkertons want relevance. The truth wants blood. Partnered with young Agent Nellie Torres, Buchanan walks the thin line between loyalty and survival as he tracks a gang led by the scarred outlaw Lobo Deverea man who believes the banks built the guns that kill the poor.

When the next armored run rolls at dawn, Buchanan climbs aboard. What follows is a gun-metal symphony of speed, betrayal, and smoke on the railsa final ride for the old detective who never quite learned how to stop chasing ghosts.

🔥 The Last Escort closes the acclaimed Val Buchanan Investigation series with a hard-boiled elegy of duty, corruption, and the cost of truth at the dawn of the modern age.

Autorenporträt

James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.

Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.

Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
