The mutilated body of a woman has been found and Detective Lucas Stonecoat is being delivered mementos...piece by piece.

Lucas teams up with psychiatrist Dr. Meredyth Sanger to figure out who is behind the twisted game and stop them before any more bodies turn up.

As Lucas and Meredyth work overtime to stop a killer, another couple are also working overtime...Arthur and Lauralie seem like an average couple, but in the privacy of their own home they are a sick pair with a taste for the macabre. The couple are playing a deadly game, one that has them proving their love by any means necessary, even murder...and worse still is the fact they have invited another couple to join them in the game.

To stop these killers Lucas and Meredyth will be forced to answer the question: How far are you willing to go to survive?

`Final Edge' is another great entry in the Edge series. Gruesome murders, twisted killers and slick plot twists will keep readers on the edge of their seats turning the pages of this masterful thriller. Robert Walker has been compared to Dean Koontz and Patricia Cornwell, but he is better...his writing style smooth, his pacing super fast, but most importantly he keeps his readers entertained with intelligent, original and exciting plots.

A chilling thriller that can't be put down.

This is the final book in the series according to what I have read. There is a sense of loss with the ending of any good series. I enjoyed the series and Final Edge.

Having read Stone Cold by Parker had almost turned me on "couple" killers. I was almost reluctant to read Final Edge because of this. The fact I loved the other Edges and Stonecoat convinced me to at least try the book.

I was relieved that Walker gave me interesting complex Serial Killers. It was sheer delight. The complex pysche of the female killer was the draw for me to finish the book. I had to read to find out where she was going next.

I started the series, as I said, because of Stonecoat. I was a bit disappointed in him and his lack of development in this book. It was as if he was "wrapped up". This made sense after I read it was the last of the series. He didn't seem to develop as deeply as previously. As I said he was wrapped up and so was the good Dr. Instead the complex insight used on Stonecoat in earlier Edges went into the killers. It worked. I don't regret adding it to my bookshelf as a keeper addition.

As the final book it worked and worked very well leaving me with a content feeling about the series. If you are new to the series read the other Edges then read this one but be sure to read this one. See if we can't talk him into more or at least Remo and North. (...)

I stumbled across a copy of one of Walker's "instinct" books while browsing in a bookstore. After finishing it in one reading, I purchased all the books in this series....Dr. Jessica Coran is not only a great character but the storylines are very intriguing and on point. There is something to be said with being allowed to grow with a character. After that I began researching anything else Mr. Walker had written...again I discovered his "edge" books!!! The growing relationship between Lucas & "Mere" is interesting & only adds to the plot!!! If you are looking for great mysteries, Robert Walker is your man!!!!!

If you value good research coupled with a good, fast moving story line you'll love Final Edge. Walker put a lot of talent and research into this one. Watch out for Lauralie; she'll expand whatever limits you have by a factor of ten. A great read, enjoy !

Thank goodness Det. Lucas Stonecoat and Dr. Meredyth Sanger are back. Final Edge is a wonderfully gripping story of madness, revenge and relationships. The beauty is in the details.

The characters are complex with a depth to them that is refreshing. Their behaviors and interactions with each other ring true as they try to understand and cope with the horror that is happening in their worlds. Throughout the "Edge" series, relationships have been evolving. Final Edge furthers these relationships in satisfying ways. Mr. Walker's books are always rich in details. Final Edge is no different. His descriptions of police and medical examiner procedures, as well as the various cultral glimpses revealed, are fascinating and help sustain the novel's momentum. I became invested in and cared about the characters during their journey. At one point in the novel I was afraid Mr. Walker had gone astray and relied on an overused literary scenerio. I should have known better! He brought me right back with a deft stroke of his pen. (You may find this too, the scence involves the serial killer and Meredyth Sanger meeting face to face. Pay attention.)

Mr. Walker's fluent, descriptive writing style is a joy to read. I eagerly await his next "Edge" installment. While waiting readers should check out the Dr. Coran "Instinct" series. Another series worthy of praise.

Better than any movie, Final Edge blew me away. This is an amazing, fun filled roller coaster ride. Many books, too many in suspsense mystery and horror leave you feeling it is a flatline story, dead, but this novel which combines susspense with such horrific overtones, has a huge and frightful seismograph. I mean it is up and down like a roller coaster as I said but the emotional power and depth of the charcters sand the romance between the two leads is the best romance novel i have read in years, and here it is embedded in this amazing fast suspense tale with all the American Indian themes butting heads with modern life in a major American city. Cudos and highly, highly recommended to suspense, mystery, horror, and romance fans. Final Edge breaks all the barriers. Mr. Walker is the best author on the planet for surprise moments and aha moments and just plain fright enough to make you throw the book across the room...but delicious enough to have you crawling over to fetch it up again and reading on. So READ ON...and to Mr. Walker, please WRITE ON. And I am so glad to see that 12 out of print walker titles are up at Fiction Wise for ebook, and the real surprise is FleshWar up on Amazon shorts as a serialized novel. Way cool. Since i loved Fire and Flesh, the prequel with the spontaneous human combusition creature running amok in America, and now it is running amok in India....
