Publisher's summary

His last challenge: live long enough to save the lives of those he loves.

Cold-blooded killer JimBone Wheeler blames Tom McMurtrie for putting him on death row. He once vowed that he’d bring “a reckoning” on Tom and everyone the southern lawyer holds dear. When Wheeler escapes from prison, he aims to fulfill his promise. Victim by victim, he’s getting closer to his ultimate target. But for Tom, who’s dying of cancer, the role of savior and protector is a struggle that is becoming more desperate by the hour.

As the body count mounts, Tom, his partner, Rick Drake, and his best friend, Bocephus Haynes, brace for a confrontation like nothing they have ever faced before. This battle will be waged not in a courthouse but on the streets and fields of north Alabama. With all those he loves at risk, Tom must save his family, his friends, and his legacy from a killer whose hunger for retribution knows no bounds.

Now, as time ticks down and fate and vengeance close in, who will survive Wheeler’s final reckoning?

Robert Bailey continues to deliver

I have become a huge fan of Mr. Bailey's work. The Final Reckoning is just as reviting and suspenseful as the previous books. I was a little dismayed at 96 chapters, but the action moves so fast that before I knew it, I was finished. Don't read this book of you have not yet finished the first 3 books.

There are many surprises and unexpected outcomes. It is a fast passed thriller that had made me all over the place Up half the night to finish it!

Satisfying Conclusion to the series

I enjoyed every single book in this series, as they were fast paced and had memorable characters. I’m often disappointed at a series’ conclusion, but not this time. The ending was satisfying and I can’t wait to check out his next series. This was one of those books where I was sad to let the characters go.

The Final Reckoning

OMG I couldn’t stop listening to this book. The twists and turns. The undying love and sacrifice of a father, grandfather, friend & partner. I stayed up well beyond my bedtime to finish this book and I’m glad II did. I highly recommend reading this series. The author is very talented and knows how to pull you right into the story.

Such an intense ending to this series

This really wiped me out emotionally. It was an appropriate ending to the series but was more violent and emotionally taxing than the others. Definitely worth reading/listening, but prepare yourself….

Love Robert Bailey’s books.

This book moved me far more than the others he has written. Professor made the story, however I listened to one after professor passed. He lives in his friends.

Finding that Robert’s father was his inspiration I cried. So touching.

A must read!

Great Characters & Great Read

I just found Robert Bailey, and the first one I almost couldn’t get through t it. The story was great, but the narrator was HORRIBLE! So glad someone replaced the narrator, made the book so much more enjoyable. I moved to Alabama ~30 years ago, and my husband was born in Huntsville Hospital. I really appreciate the author’s attention to geographical details.
