To The Last Breath

Take a hurricane, mix in an award-winning author in an iron lung, severed body parts, one bogeyman, a persistent private investigator, and his girlfriend, shake well, and you've got To The Last Breath, the latest Blue Bridge Mystery from Michael K. Zimmerli.

For Private Investigator Jimmy Favreaux and Wendi Lyst, it's a one-of-a-kind first date: riding out Hurricane Nicole as it makes a rare November landfall on the Florida coast. For author Carolyn Dawson, one of the last people in the world still using an iron lung, the hurricane's arrival could spell life or death for her, and that would mean big changes for her son and his new wife.

Compounding the built-in dangers that accompany a hurricane, Jimmy gets some less-than-natural warnings to stay out of Carolyn Dawson's family business. Instead of heeding the warnings, Jimmy meets them head-on as challenges.

Just to make sure Jimmy's cup is overflowing and his plate is full, the Seven O'clock Man — a legend from Jimmy's Canadian childhood — has seemingly come to life and is tracking Jimmy.

Set on Amelia Island, Florida, To The Last Breath continues the adventures of Private Investigator Jimmy Favreaux.
