In the final novel in the "timely and evocative" (NPR) Highway 59 trilogy, from Edgar Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author Attica Locke, Darren Matthews is pulled out of an early retirement to investigate the disappearance of a Black college student from an all-white sorority and soon finds nothing is as it seems. 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... The story benefits from its consistent focus on core themes, avoiding unnecessary distractions. This concentration strengthens the narrative and enhances reader understanding. This book demonstrates how effective storytelling does not require constant action. Moments of reflection and dialogue are used strategically to add depth and context. These quieter elements enrich the story and provide balance.
