Thriller Crime | Suspense

Through honest hard work, the not-so-honest fencing of a wide variety of items that come his way and a few Mafia connections, Jimmie Collins has accumulated big bucks. It's enough for him to buy a mid-Manhattan bar and to see that his ill wife and disabled daughter are taken care of comfortably in Florida. When Jimmie finds out he has cancer and not long to live, he has to find someone he can trust to take care of his family financially and handle his laundered fortune after he's gone -- a fortune that's being held in overseas accounts. Unfortunately, he trusts the wrong person to retrieve the money and it never comes through after his death. Enter Nathan Melton and the rest of the close-knit band of patrons from Jimmie's bar. Whatever it takes, they are going to track down and recover the millions of dollars he had in foreign banks. It's the least they can do for Jimmie's wife and daughter. And so begins this high-stakes journey fraught with risks and dangers none of them could imagine. The outcome will make you hold your breath, as well as smile. Seamus takes readers on a roller coaster ride of emotions in LAST CALL, where he skillfully combines a crime mystery with lots of adventure and a touch of humor.

SUMMARY

Manhattan newcomer Nathan Melton is looking for a place to connect. Lucky for him, Jimmies is just around the corner-- Jimmie Collins is a man with connections! From beat cops to Mafioso, career women to former linebackers, Jimmies patrons take care of each other and their neighborhood barkeep. A beloved priest needs some thugs taught a lesson? No problem! Trouble with your love life? Let Jimmie apply his matchmaking skills. Need a place to sell some merchandise that might have fallen off a truck? No questions asked. Nathan has found his home away from home. Jimmie has an ailing wife and disabled daughter nestled in Florida, and his bar family is all he s got. They understand about the childrens charity balancing out the part time smuggling job, that offshore accounts are necessary when medical bills arent covered by health insurance. When Jimmie reveals his own terminal diagnosis, his friends vow to help him recover the millions he has in foreign bank accounts. Somewhere between that promise and Jimmies death, things go terribly wrong. The money is gone, their friend is dead, and it s up to this close-knit cadre to track the cash.
