Last Known Contact

A missing man. A daughter betrayed. And a killer who’s just getting started.



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



Ellie isn't buying any of it.



Determined to uncover the truth, she digs into Jack’s past and the empire he built, only to uncover secrets that shatter everything she thought she knew about the man and the charity foundation she runs in his name. As her world tilts, Ellie turns to Detective Ben Rossi, a man who once betrayed her when she needed him the most.



Then comes the anonymous threat: Stop digging or you’re next.



When a body surfaces in the bay, Ellie realizes she’s not just chasing shadows—she’s being hunted. The lies run deep, and the people she once trusted may be the ones plotting against her.



Someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.



And if Ellie can’t figure out who, she’ll be next.
