The Last Breath
ByPublisher Description
“The Last Breath will leave you breathless. This edgy and emotional thriller will keep you guessing until the very end.” —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times–bestselling author
Humanitarian aid worker Gia Andrews chases disasters around the globe for a living. It’s the perfect lifestyle to keep her far away from her own dark past.
Sixteen years ago, Gia’s father was imprisoned for brutally killing her stepmother. Now that he’s back home and dying of cancer, Gia must care for him and reluctantly resumes the role of daughter to the town’s most infamous murderer. Gia’s old wounds are ripped open as protesters show up on the lawn and death threats are hurled at her, turning her own personal tragedy, once again, into front-page news.
As the past unravels before her, Gia finds herself torn between the stories that family, friends, and even her long-departed stepmother have believed to be real all these years. But in the end, the truth—and all the lies that came before—may have deadlier consequences than she could have ever anticipated . . .
“Powerful and complex with an intensity drawn out through each page, The Last Breath is a story of forgiveness and betrayal and one I couldn’t put down!” —Steena Holmes, New York Times–bestselling author
“As readers feverishly flip the pages of this painstakingly emotional book, they will . . . consume it all in one sitting. Will surprise readers to the very end.” —RT Book Reviews
