The Last Story

Crime reporter Jack Malloy thought the Northbridge Water Board discrimination suit was a routine injustice. Then a terrified clerk handed him a file showing the city’s water was being deliberately poisoned to save a few dollars. The men behind it weren’t just greedy—they killed for the sheer sport of it. When they took his family from him, Malloy was left with nothing but a typewriter, a revolver, and one final column designed to tear down a corrupt empire. Some crimes are committed to survive; others are just a pastime.
