Publisher Description

The case of a missing Black college student who has disappeared from her all-white sorority pulls Darren out of an early retirement; the third and final novel in the "timely and evocative" (NPR) Highway 59 trilogy, from Edgar Award-winning New York Times-Bestselling  author Attica Locke.

Texas Ranger Darren Mathews isn’t sure he’s been a good cop, but believes he’s got a shot at being a good man—if he manages to dodge the potential indictment hanging over his head and if he, from here on out, pledges allegiance to the truth. It’s a virtue the country appears to have wholly lost its grip on, but one Darren sees as his salvation. He is in the midst of remaking his life with the woman he loves, hoping for the peace of country living at his beloved farmhouse, when he is visited by someone who couldn’t hold the truth on her tongue if it was dipped in sugar, a woman who’s always been bent of tearing his life apart. His mother. Armed with a tall tale about a missing Black college student, Sera (whose white sorority sisters insist she isn’t missing at all). Darren must decide if his can trust his mother is telling the truth—and what her ulterior motive may be, and what if that motive has to do with a grand jury deciding his fate.

Darren gets his hooks into the investigation, along the way discovering things about Sera’s family and her hometown that are odd at best, vaguely sinister at worst. Hamstrung by local law enforcement and the Texas Rangers who likewise doubt the account of a missing girl, if Darren wants answers, he’ll need help from the person whom he swore to never trust again—his mother.

In this emotionally stirring conclusion to the singular Highway 59 series, Darren reckons with his life’s purpose as he’s forced to choose between his own peace and the higher call to do good.

“Thank you to @novelsuspects and @mulhollandbooks for the copies to review. Whew, what a conclusion to the Highway 59 series. Darren Matthews has become a familiar character to me, and with J.D. Jackson (one of my favorites) doing the fabulous narration, I’m truly sad this is finished. I love Attica Locke’s writing, she covers tough subjects well while creating characters with depth that you are endeared to, flaws and all. I did not know how this was going to end, as we have had a bumpy ride with Darren and his mother, and I won’t spoil it for you but I did not expect this from either of them in here. I also did not expect the ending, and it did not disappoint. This can be read as a standalone, but as you can probably tell from this review, it is best to read this as part of the overall trilogy, and it is well worth your time in doing so.”
