  Fifteen years after graduation, four old university friends get together to celebrate Luke’s stag party. Tucked away in a remote village in the Lake District, they expect a weekend of real ale, log fires and gentle hikes – but a stag party of locals have other ideas. 
  Unwillingly drawn into one-upmanship and animosity, the four friends find themselves being hunted across unfamiliar ground in a game of deadly consequences. With only one of them guaranteed to survive, old wounds and resentments threaten to tear them apart as much as their pursuers. 
  Can the four friends unite to fight back, or will they fall, divided and broken? 
  Praise for Last Night of Freedom 
  “Imagine the worst thing that could happen on a stag, then multiply that by a factor of several thousand. Last Night of Freedom preys on the rivalries, bravado, and toxicities on display as unchecked, booze-fuelled egos spiral out of control. This is a novel that takes place at a furious pace across a nightmare weekend, and I loved every desperate second of it.” David Moody, author of the Hater series and Shadowlocked= 
  “Last Night of Freedom is Dan Howarth’s grimy, dread-laden portrait of toxic masculinity and the English countryside. An unflinching depiction of a fetid, primal face of human nature, where barbarism hides behind the rotting mask of tradition. I couldn’t put it down.” Kev Harrison, author of Shadow of the Hidden and The Balance. 
  “Deliverance meets Dead Man’s Shoes… Does for stag parties what Jaws did for swimming.” W.A. Kelly - author of Safe Hands.
