Final Option
An out-of-control surgeon, an embezzling hospital administrator, and a client who wants to kill the doctor who ruined his life are the least of Larry Ross's problems. After narrowly escaping justice in a desperate dash to Mexico in Leighton Rockafellow's previous novel - Immaculate Deception, Lindy Roller is back in this latest installment of the pulse-pounding series, featuring the Tucson attorney and his partner, Bill Wilson. And this time Lindy is the hired killer for drug lord Juan Pacheco. As Ross struggles to put a stop to the mayhem caused by the reckless surgeon, keep his severely injured client in check, and chase the trail of money as it hemorrhages out of the hospital's coffers, Lindy becomes the wild card, plunging into the midst of it all, with a contract to kill and vengeance on her mind. And just when Ross doesn't think it could get any worse, he finds himself in the middle of a lawsuit - where he is the defendant!

When Lindy Roller gets her orders from the Cartel bosses she heads back north to
Tucson. The notorious, professional killer has orders to rub out another dead-beat loser
who is being used as an example by the Mexican drug-dealers.
Having staged an escape from the Pima County jail before fleeing to Mexico, Lindy
has many people in Tucson who would be happy to see her back behind bars. From the
attorney Larry Ross whom she duped into hiring her while she was nothing more than a
spy for the opposition, to the head of homicide, Greg Kelly who was unwittingly having a torrid affair
with her while she was the most wanted felon in Pima County to poor old Jim Pierson the deputy she
had at her beck and call sexually while she planned her escape, not to mention the two other murder
complainants who had charges dropped as she was not there to testify after her getaway.
The dead-beat cocaine user she was to put on ice was a top, orthopedic surgeon whose life was
beginning to unravel after a nasty divorce and a suspension from the hospital. Dr. Jeff Young was also
being sued by a patient he operated on and caused terrible harm to. Larry Ross, the attorney that Lindy
used to work for, was chasing down the malpractice suit and attaching the hospital’s bond and so their
lives became entangled again.
When Lindy is apprehended and brought to trial it looks like a slam dunk for law enforcement in
Pima County.
In his third legal thriller featuring attorney Larry Ross, Rockafellow pulls out all the stops to a
whirlwind crescendo of a tropical storm blowing in from Mexico making you wonder who will have
survived when the waters finally roll back. This one blows it all away.
