John Hart's The Last Child is a suspenseful thriller that explores themes of loss, hope, and courage through the story of thirteen-year-old Johnny Merrimon. Winner of the Edgar Allan Poe and Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Awards for Best Thriller.
Johnny Merrimon had a perfect childhood: a warm home, wonderful parents, and Alyssa, his twin sister, with whom he was deeply attached. He had never known suffering or loss until the day Alyssa disappeared on the street while returning from the library. A year later, Johnny is lonely and misunderstood because no one but him believes that Alyssa is alive. In search of his sister, Johnny risks his life to explore the dark side of his hometown.
Detective Clyde Hunt has never given up on the search for Alyssa. The case haunts him, keeps him awake at night, and jeopardizes his career. His superiors think he is crazy and threaten to fire him, but he continues to review the files and visit Johnny and his mother.
And then another girl disappears.
Convinced that he will find the perpetrator, Johnny accepts the help of his only remaining friend, with whom he goes into the wilderness, to a long-forgotten place of violence whose history goes back a hundred years. What they discover there will cast doubt on all his efforts and thoughts about his sister's fate and lead them to another faraway place - a truth that will put their entire lives to the test.
