His bitter wife? His son, back in town after a long absence? The discovery of multiple wills further clouds Wainwright’s relationships and motives others may have had in wanting to see him dead.From the countryside to the courtroom, the small town of Borderview to the burgeoning metropolis of Omaha, Last Will is a tale of mystery and suspense set in 1880s Nebraska, as lawmen and law wranglers must navigate the ripple effect a murder has on the community and their families.

About this title

From the Author

This novel features characters from the author's fictional Locke family. Myles Locke, a Kansas Flint Hills lawyer, is the patriarch of a family that includes five children, Franklin, Cameron, Ian, Thaddeus, and Hannah. Protagonists of these novels will be one or more of the siblings or their father, but the books are stand-alone novels and need not be read in any specific order. Of course, the author hopes the reader will enjoy this book and be inspired to pick up another novel about this interesting and unique frontier family.

Western readers who have read Louis L'Amour's books might call to mind the writing legend's many Sackett family novels, which could easily be read independently without locating the first novel. Yet, many readers found themselves forming a bond of sorts with the Sacketts and wanted to learn more about these folks.

So, remember, whichever Locke book you have chosen, the story is the thing. Enjoy it, and do not worry about whether you should have read another of the novels first.
