Eddie Grant #2
Last Stop: Paris
He got them all...
All but one
Now the leader of the gang is in his sights — but at terrible risk to Aurélie, the love of his life.
You might think Eddie Grant has done everything he can but it wouldn’t be true, at least not yet. The half-American, half-French golden boy of Paris cleaned up most of the gang that murdered his father, his wife, and his young son. The evil genius behind the plot remains out of reach, invisible, as though he never existed, but Eddie’s thirst for revenge remains as keen as ever. He won’t settle for mere justice.
The thrilling sequel to Treasure of Saint-Lazare.
In a glittering salon in the most expensive quartier of Paris, Eddie’s man surfaces, linked somehow to a shady French banker, an American TV goldbug, and a pretentious Texas congressman running for president. When the goldbug dies a gruesome death, Eddie must come to a does he or doesn’t he follow the case to the end? The wrong choice could be the last one he ever makes.
Does vengeance outweigh the call of his growing romance with the beautiful Aurélie? She’s clear about it — at her urging, he jumps back into the fray, calling for help from his friend Jeremy Bentham, a retired two-star general he served under as company commander during the First Gulf War. The bewitching Jen, who he thought was far in the past, plays a key role.
In his public life, Eddie is heir to a great American industrial fortune and an investing genius who has multiplied the wealth his father left behind — and Aurélie’s handsome companion at the society events and Sorbonne soirées she loves but he would rather avoid. In the background, he’s a CIA “unofficial," who volunteers to be the Paris eyes and ears for his CIA and Desert Storm friend Icky Crane.
Kirkus Reviews said Last Paris is "A full-throttle adventure through modern Europe and the Mediterranean that’s part thriller, part mystery, and all rollicking ride." Shelf Unbound Magazine selected it as one of the six best indie books of the year.

John Pearce writes an suspense thriller in the vein of Ian Fleming. Using Paris, Germany, Miami and other thrilling backdrops, he weaves a tale of crime, terror, politics, with a dash of romance keeping the reader engaged with his characters. Eddie Grant has brought elegance back. Part French, part American, he is a refreshing hero, rather than an anti-hero. With a cast of intriguing characters including the mysterious Claude Khan, Eddie finds himself and his fiance caught up in Khan's nefarious plans to control the world through gold. Eddie must unravel Claude's schemes and save both himself and people he cares about along the way. Pearce's knowledge of Paris puts the reader right in the middle of the excitement. I can't wait to see where Eddie is headed next.

Twists and turns
Lots of twists and turns in the sequel to Treasure of Saint-Lazare.
Eddie and Aurelie are living together but Aurelie has made Eddie promise not to pursue the leader of the gang from the previous book. The one that got away.
After attending an invite to a swanky party designed to interest investors in a Gold Hedge fund it transpires that the man running the scheme, Claude Khan, didn’t attend when he hears Eddie is attending.
Turns out that Khan is an out and out gangster and he is doing all sorts to manipulate the gold market with a plan to spook world financial markets. It’s quite a clever plan and Khan is gathering gold as payment for arms deals.
Eddie thinks Khan is the man that killed his dad, wife and child. Aurelia lets him off his vow to chase Khan but only if she can be involved.
Deaths, kidnappings and close calls all feature in this fast paced story, which is a worthy sequel to Treasure of Saint-Lazare. It’s well constructed and a real page turner.
I will read book three without a doubt.

This book is definitely filled with action, adventure, intrigue and mystery! The main characters are amazing, but there are so many incidental characters and the relationships are sometimes so difficult to understand, that I found it difficult to follow. Who's who and what's what? But there were many moments of clarity and I could truly see what was happening. Other times not so much.
It's a long book and definitely worth the time to read. I only wish I could have devoted more uninterrupted hours to it. There is violence and some gruesome details, but nothing I couldn't handle, although sometimes I get so involved in the story that I feel like I am actually there...which happened a few times. Kudos to the author for making me feel that way. Great story and I highly recommend it.

Posted first to Blog Critics as Book Review: 'Last Stop Paris' A Novel of Romance and Suspense by John Pearce.
The lure of Gold captures the imagination of all; it crosses the barriers of both culture and race. In Last Stop: Paris by John Pearce we follow the trail of an international killer who has nefarious plans to boost the price of gold through whatever means necessary. Set between the U.S city of Sarasota, Florida and the wonderful French city of Paris, you find yourself both entranced and horrified as you follow the chase.
Eddie Grant finds himself along with his girlfriend Aurelie, at a cocktail party in Paris, full of men and women in business suits. There are many things they would rather be doing. Their host Henri has offered up his home for a meeting of gold bugs, those who feel that gold is the future. Eddies spots a longtime friend, Jeremy and they discuss the group as the meeting begins.
It appears the fund manager, Claude Khan has followed the gold once again is is not available to meet the group. Edward is disappointed; he and Aurelie are known for finding millions of dollars in Reichs-bank gold bars hidden in a building not far from Gare Saint-Lazare and were looking forward to meeting Khan. A priceless Raphael painting that was rumored to have also been with the gold was not found, although many rumors abound.
The meeting continues with speculation and historical events that to the gold bugs prove their theories that gold is the only standard.
The meeting takes a turn for the creepy, and soon Eddie, Aurelie and Jeremy retire to dinner with a friend who has information for them from an unlikely source. As they ponder the information and what it might mean for them, they walk back to their room. It is here that they begin to suspect there is more at risk then just rumors of trouble. A car speeds up to hit them, but is cut off by a taxi driver who had noted it idling for some time. Saved from certain death, Aurelie is fine but Eddie receives some non-threatening injuries. Something is going on and somehow they have found themselves as targets. The information seems to lead towards the elusive Khan. The more they dig for answers, the more sinister and elusive they become.
Pearce sets the stage for terror and takes us into the beauty of Paris. His scenarios are well written and his pace keeps you on the edge of your seat. His characters are very real, and there is almost a James Bond feel to the work, but only a tinge. The women are as involved as the men when it comes to getting the answers, and he keeps it in the tradition of Paris with the romance that is weaved throughout the danger.
If you enjoy suspense, romance and terroristic action you will find this is just the work you are seeking. A worthy book for your library, you will find yourself reading late into the night.

The author, Mr. Pearce wrote a realistic story. The characters are well developed and each character is important to the plot. First, we have Eddie, one bad ass individual which you find an attraction to in a small way. He has been trying for years to find who murdered his wife, son and his father.He has just about given up when a vicious murder brings the case to life again. He becomes gung-ho once again. Then we have Claude Khan which I myself, couldn't stand. There is Jen, who I was drawn to and was rooting for. The story puts the reader right there, living perhaps as a friend or neighbor of the characters. You can almost reach out and touch them. The story''s pace was fast and yet not so fast that you had to go back and re-read to figure out what was going on. The author gives the reader, a thriller, a mystery, a story filled with danger and believable characters. What more could a reader want? I hope Mr. Pearce is working on a third book because I was left wanting more. Grab a copy of LAST STOP: PARIS by John Pearce and follow the characters through the streets and darkness of Paris and Europe. A journey not to miss.

I was a little disappointed when I got the book as I thought that this was book one not book two. Then when I went to read it I found myself very confused at the beginning because the book does nothing to recap what happened in book one. A prologue would have been really helpful.
That aside I was able to borrow book one from a friend and after speed reading it this book made a LOT more sense. I really liked the atmosphere of the book. The author did a great job with setting the sense and providing a sense of thrill and anticipation that keeps the reader at the edge of his or her seat. I really liked the part where Jeremy learns about Khan, to me this was the point when the book really started to get good. Jeremy was able to start to get into Khan's head and understand him a bit. From that point on the book just kept moving and never slowed down.

The plot was pretty good, writing okay, though suffering from too much (for my attention span) unattributed dialogue. The reason for three stars is the characters. Most of the characters are trite, and many have annoying names (yes, I'm petty) -- names out of early 20th century spy novels, though these characters would be mostly gen-x, if I'm not too far off. Eddie, Icky (this one was like squeaky shoes). Icky could get repeated so many times on a single page that I suspect the author really, really liked it.
The cliches extended to:
- Eddie's Parisian girlfriend and her most superior policeman father
- Eddie's family history of patrician French mixed with America's Finest, aw-shucks brave and true
- the Middle Eastern and Eastern European stereotypical thugs seen before on a TV program/movie or two or twenty.
There were a few breaths of fresh air though; among them, Mr. Khan of the ever-present brown suit.
A note: I apologize if I have a couple of the names wrong here -- finished the ebook a couple of weeks ago and was not able to verify these names.

This is the second in a series and I think I would definitely have benefited from reading the first in order to get accustomed to the writing style and the basis of the story. Having said that it is well written, it took me quite a while to get into it and be able to place each character into the right situation.
The route through Paris itself is very in depth and you can easily feel as if you are there in the atmosphere even if you have no prior knowledge of the city. I did like Eddie he is a typical bad-boy but Khan is an ultimate slime-ball.
The fast pace, murder, mayhem, kidnapping and gold chasing across the globe make it ideal for fans of mystery and suspense. It needs a certain level of concentration so not ideal for a light holiday read.
Thanks to the author and Pump Up Your Book for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.

I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.
Last Stop: Paris is an action/mystery/suspense novel that kept my interest throughout. It's the second book in the series but it does stand on its own. Enough is mentioned about the first book that I hope to have time to go back and read it, but I didn't feel like I was lost in this book without having read it.
The characters are well developed and believable. Eddie and Aurelie are a power couple who find themselves embroiled in danger as they try to solve this mystery.
The author's writing style flows well and the descriptions of Paris are very good. I recommend Last Stop: Paris to anyone who enjoys thrillers and mysteries.

Last Stop: PARIS is a tantalizing mystery that manages to merge contemporary issues of terrorism, the economy, the Russian mafia, and revenge into an intriguing and satisfying story. The author's prior employment in Paris is clearly evidenced by his reference to Parisian landmarks, restaurants, highways, and sections of the city that provide a rich ambience. This is a stand alone novel, but it helps to read the first in the Eddie Grant saga so you get a feel for the characters and their shared history. The complex mystery and cast of characters unfolds gradually with chase scenes, kidnappings and murder in this wonderful sequel to a fascinating subject.

I had the please of trying out a new author with this book. It was an action packed mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. I could not wait to turn the page to see what was going to happen next. You can tell the author did his research and used his life experiences in Paris to write the setting. He did a great job in describing places so we could really feel a part of the story. He also made the characters believeable by having them make mistakes that everyday people make. Even though this is the second book in his series I was able to read this book as a stand alone and not feel lost. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

I expected to really enjoy this one, and I was right! Taking place 3 years after the Treasure of St Lazare, familiar characters become involved with new, threatening ones. The writing draws you in and you become invested in the story quite early on. There are some weavings of the previous tale into this one, and lots more new and unrealized things that totally surprise. The action is pretty much non-stop. Great book for plot twists that blow you away!
The narrator of the audio is okay.

Wow
If you love international mysteries, Paris, shifting characters, exotic locations, and first class writing,this book is a must read. I've read both, Treasure of ASaint Lazar and this one back to back, and wish there was a third in the series...
