The Last Sanctuary

No ratings yet

Joe Curtis is twenty-five, a Gulf War veteran with a survival instinct honed to a razor's edge. Headed for Seattle to rescue his troubled brother, Joe is burned-out and nearly broke when a chance encounter on a desolate road transforms him from an honest, hardworking man into a fugitive. ATF Agent Leanne Red Feather, a Native American woman in a department full of tough white men, is running surveillance on an Idaho arms dealer when the man is killed in an apparent holdup. Leanne knows it's a hit, and with the instincts that have made her reputation and jeopardized her career, she pinpoints the prime suspect: Joe Curtis. She believes that Curtis will lead her to a cache of stolen arms, and to charismatic cult leader Father Amon, who is preparing his acolytes for Armageddon in their last sanctuary. To Leanne, a born hunter who was taught to respect her prey, Joe Curtis has become an obsession, an alter ego. With a gut feeling that they are destined to meet, she coolly tracks Joe, a loner and a survivor like herself, on a relentless cat-and-mouse chase from Boise to Seattle to the icy grandeur of Alaska. Here, on a silent, glacier-strewn landscape, the two come face-to-face in an explosive encounter that ultimately drives Leanne underground and undercover, into Father Amon's sanctuary. And here, in the shadow of the Aleutian Range, Joe Curtis's harrowing journey comes to a close - in a shocking climax that will bring his pursuers to their knees.
