Book Description

The Last Place God Made is a gritty adventure thriller set in the remote wilderness of Alaska, where a group of outsiders—each fleeing personal failure or moral compromise—are drawn together by a dangerous opportunity. As ambition, greed, and survival instincts collide in an unforgiving landscape, the novel explores isolation, redemption, and the brutal indifference of nature, blending hard-edged realism with Higgins’s trademark tension.
