Last Day

A terrible loss and a brutal crime rock a coastal neighbourhood is the gripping tale of a community written by renowned New York Times bestselling novelist Luanne Rice.

Years ago, the night their mother and the well-known artwork Moonlight were stolen, Beth Lathrop and her sister Kate experienced what they believed to be the biggest tragedy of their lives. Conor Reid, the investigator assigned to the case, vowed to keep the sisters safe going forward.

After that, Beth moved on, giving her all to the art world, managing the family gallery, and raising a beautiful daughter with her spouse Pete. Instead, Kate turned inside and became a flight attendant, always in motion. Detective Reid is struck with a feeling of familiarity when he discovers that Beth has been strangled at her house and that Moonlight has vanished once again.

Reid assumes the worst of Beth's husband right away because of their poorly disclosed affair. He has a perfect alibi, yet the evidence appears to point to him, and he also has a motivation. Along with the sisters' closest childhood friends, Kate and Reid try to understand Beth's death, but all they uncover are more questions: Would anybody else have preferred Beth's death? What role does Moonlight play?

Reid promised to safeguard Beth and Kate twenty years ago, but he hasn't succeeded. Right now, cracking the case is becoming an obsession.
