Last Known Contact

He was meant to meet his son-in-law to go sailing. He never arrived at the jetty. Or did he?

A twisty, gripping missing person and murder mystery, with a family in peril, a daughter who will do anything to find her father, and a detective torn between love, guilt and duty.

When Ellie Connor returns from a business trip to the news that her father, Jack Bannerman, has vanished without a trace, her instincts scream that something is terribly wrong. Yet no one else seems alarmed. His wife claims he needed a break. His advisors insist it is business as usual. Even Ellie’s ex, the last person to see Jack alive, slides seamlessly into the role of acting CEO.

Ellie isn't buying any of it and begins her own investigation.

Digging around in Jack's past uncovers secrets that shatter everything Ellie believed about him and the charity foundation she runs in his name. When she receives a frightening warning to back off, she reluctantly turns to Detective Ben Rossi from Missing Persons, a man she once loved. All she wants is his expertise in finding people. All he wants is the chance to redeem himself.

The discovery of a body in the bay casts suspicion on those closest to Jack but gives Ellie a clue about his fate. Without knowing who to trust with her information, she flees the city to the one place she feels safe, unaware of a killer following close behind...
