WILL THE CHANCE FOR A NEW LIFE
BE ANGEL’S LAST SHOT?

Tagged as a cop killer when a mission of vengeance goes wrong, Angel Dare finds herself on the run, with an unexpected burden: she’s pregnant. Her desperate flight takes Angel across the rugged American west, where cattle barons lock horns with rodeo bullfighters and life can end suddenly and brutally. A renegade couple living off the grid near the border might offer a chance of escape—but can Angel reach them in time...?

Christa Faust’s first Angel Dare novel, MONEY SHOT, earned universal acclaim: a finalist for the Edgar, Anthony and Barry Awards, it won the Crimespree Award and was chosen by fans as their favorite Hard Case Crime title of all time. Angel’s story continued in CHOKE HOLD and now—after a wait of almost 15 years—it comes to a blazing conclusion in THE GET OFF.

  • First publication anywhere!
  • Rob Hart on THE GET OFF: "Kneel before the Queen of Noir: Christa Faust is back, to show us how it’s done. Angel Dare’s sunset ride is brutal, propulsive, and heartrending, and the dust she kicks up will stick in your teeth long after you’ve finished."
  • Joe R. Lansdale on THE GET OFF: "Hard wired and hard written, I love how easy this is to read, but how much is stuck between the lines. Entertainment in the dark vein. Highly recommended."
