A witness on the run. A marshal on the hunt. They'll need to trust each other to avoid a hitman's crosshairs...

Deputy US Marshal Matthew Kirby is the only thing standing between an innocent woman and a ruthless killer. Tracking her down in the sprawling city was supposed to be the hard part, but winning the intriguing woman's trust is a new level of complicated. Things get even more complex as burgeoning new feelings put both of them in more danger than they ever thought possible...

Customer Reviews

Last Enemy is definitely a FIVE star!

After reading all Pauline Baird Jones' books, I'm convinced that she is the new Erma Bombeck. It is no surprise that film companies are searching her work out for projects! This is a must read.

Ye-ha! It's the first book in an awesome series!

THE LAST ENEMY was an AWESOME read. I couldn't put it down (and I had to read parts of it with the lights on!). It's the first book in The Lonesome Lawmen series (BYTE ME is the second one)and I'm thrilled there will be a third one published soon! Pauline Baird Jones is on my keeper shelf with Robert Ludlum, J.D. Robb, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips. BTW, the reviewers were RIGHT ON about this book. :-)

Can't wait for the movie!

I can see why this book was the RT Reviewer's Choice for best ebook of 1999. I'm glad to see it in print. This first-class suspense novel should be a movie. It has all the elements needed for a summer blockbuster. The cross-genre blend of comedy, suspense and romance is fresh and satisfying, and her characters are so real and engaging, they could walk right off the page. I would recommend this fun and fulfilling book for anyone who is tired of traditional popular fiction.

Hold onto your seat!

I just finished The Last Enemy. Now, I'm going back and start reading it all over again. It's that good--a keeper, an annual read. I was so caught up with the characters, so enmeshed in the plot, that I absolutely dreaded the coming climax. I found myself shaking in anticipation--I was wise to get a head start. As a writer I appreciate the pure talent and sheer hard work it took to create The Last Enemy. I want to write like that when I grow up.

An absolute must read!

You must read this book! You won't be able to put it down, I promise! It has it all - romance, tension, humor, excitement. Wonderful characters - would make a wonderful movie!
