Last Words by Michael Koryta

4.0

Private investigator Mike Novak has been in a downward spiral since his wife was killed two years ago. He is sent to Indiana to look into the unsolved death of a 17-year-old girl a decade ago that still haunts the people of this struggling small town. Mike thinks it will be a quick visit; after all, this is not the kind of case the pro bono company he works for normally accepts. But as he is subjected to a variety of diversionary and scare tactics, he feels the need to pursue it further. Some of the most intense scenes in this book are set in abandoned caves where the girl's body was found. Not for the faint of heart.
