Last Known Contact by Phillipa Nefri Clark

Sometimes the only person you can trust is yourself

Her father is missing. Her estranged husband Dennis is his last known contact. The detective on the case is a man she once loved and turned her back on after a tragedy tore them apart.

Ellie Connor thought her father Jack trusted her with his business empire, but now she doesn't know what to believe. With Jack gone, Ellie seems to be the only one genuinely concerned for his safety.

Jack's head of security, Paul, is convinced Dennis is hiding something about her father's disappearance. But could Paul have his own motives for deception? When shocking secrets are uncovered about the company, Ellie's belief in her father is shattered. Is it possible he is in the business of building lies?

Someone is determined to stop Ellie from learning the truth. And if Ellie trusts the wrong person, the results could be fatal . . .

A gripping new suspense from the author of the River's End series and the Charlotte Dean Mysteries.
