When the Ruby Red Spectacle Circus rolls into town, chaos and death follow in its wake. At first, the accidents seem coincidental, but as the body count rises, it becomes clear that a killer is lurking within the big top’s shadows.
Smoke and mirrors concealing love and hate.
After a third performer turns up dead, the newly formed FBI Violent Crimes Unit in Washington, DC is called in to investigate. For FBI Special Agent Emma Last, the case is a chance to prove herself to her new SSA—and a welcome distraction from the ghosts who’ve invaded her life.
As Emma delves deeper into the twisted world of the circus, she begins to see things that can't be explained. And when the animal rights activists outside the fairgrounds grow increasingly aggressive, the team must protect the performers from both outside threats and their own dark secrets.
Secrets worth killing over.
When the investigation takes a sinister turn, Emma knows she's not the only one haunted by ghosts. With each shocking revelation, she's forced to confront the terrifying truth...someone is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the circus's secrets buried.
By turns thrilling and jaw-dropping, Last Breath is the first book in the exciting new FBI mystery series from bestselling author Mary Stone—where you’ll realize the show must go on...no matter the cost.
If you are a fan of Elle Grey’s Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Series, you won't be able to put this book down!
Surprisingly enjoyable. I usually don't like supernatural stuff, but this was a well crafted story ANF very engaging. I could see a movie deal in its future

This is a very good mystery, and a really good read! I don't believe in ghosts, but I still enjoyed the book. I didn't figure it out until almost the very end. Enjoy!

For a FBI story it's kind of childish. The Language is weak. I'm going to try the next Book and see if it gets any better.

Emma is a great character and there’s a lot of great plot twists. I recommend reading the Winter Black series first because Emma and some other characters first appear there.

Author Mary Stone has crafted a remarkable book. I found it very difficult to read because there were so many characters and twists and turns. But, somehow, it works. I congratulate you, Mary Stone.
