Big-time mystery writer Dick Belsky just gave my first hard-boiled Texas crime thriller a hellacious five-star review. Perfect timing since I just finished his latest mystery, YESTERDAY’S NEWS, and think it’s great read. Here’s Dick’s review of THE LAST SECOND CHANCE:
“The Last Second Chance is a terrific name for a mystery, and Jim Nesbitt’s action-packed story magnificently delivers on the promise of that hard-boiled title.
Ex-homicide detective turned down-and-out PI Ed Earl Burch seems out of chances in life until he meets – at gunpoint! – a bizarre and wild blonde woman named Carla Sue Cantrell.
What starts out as revenge to get the man who killed Burch’s ex-partner and led to his own fall from grace on the police force soon turns into a bloody spree – with Burch and Carla on the run from police themselves as the bodies pile up.
Nesbitt never takes his foot off the accelerator for a minute in this fast-moving tale until the final twist and conclusion. Can’t wait now to read the followup Ed Earl Burch thriller, The Right Wrong Number.”

Not for sissies. If you can’t handle the juice, don’t grab this ride. In THE LAST SECOND CHANCE, the pedal is stuck to the floor.
