The Last Man A Novel of the 1927 Santa Claus Bank Robbery It was a cold winter morning in December 1927, just before Christmas, when a peculiar figure entered a small bank in a rural town in Texas. Dressed in a red fur-trimmed suit and a white beard, the man looked more like Santa Claus than a notorious bank robber. However, as he pulled out a gun and began to hand out money to the teller, it became clear that this was no ordinary holiday cheer. The Santa Claus bank robbery had begun, and the town would never be the same again. As the events unfolded, the gang of four, including the infamous "Jolly Old St. Nick," made off with thousands of dollars, leaving behind a trail of destruction and death in their wake. But their easy heist quickly turned sour when law enforcement and vigilante justice descended upon them, forcing the group to take hostages and engage in a frenzied shootout. One by one, the gang members met their demise, until only one man remained - the last man standing. This gritty Prohibition-era crime novel tells the story of a group of flawed individuals who found themselves caught up in a cycle of violence and desperation. As they navigated the treacherous landscape of the American South during the Roaring Twenties, they were forced to confront their own personal demons and the harsh realities of the world around them. The Last Man is a tale of second chances, redemption, and the human spirit's ability to persevere even in the face of unimaginable adversity.
