On the night of Rainshadow Bay's annual Lantern Festival, a single glowing lantern washes ashore-carrying a severed hand.
The discovery ignites shockwaves through the coastal town, but for Detective Cassie Adler, it's just the beginning.
The hand belongs to a prominent real estate mogul believed to have left town under mysterious circumstances. His estranged wife-a razor-sharp, fiercely connected land baron-immediately becomes the prime suspect. Wealthy, calculating, and under house arrest, Lenora is dangerous even from the confines of her estate. But Cassie senses there's more to the story than a messy inheritance and a bitter divorce.
As Cassie digs deeper, she's pulled into the town's haunted past-a shipwreck that vanished a century ago, a set of lost diaries that hint at buried treasure, and a long-standing legacy that someone is willing to kill to protect. The deeper she gets, the more Cassie realizes this case isn't just about murder. It's about history rewritten, names changed, and power passed down in blood.
Tense, emotionally raw, and relentlessly twisty, The Last Lantern is the third installment of the Rainshadow Bay Mystery series, where the past doesn't sleep, and even the waves can't wash away the truth. For fans of character-driven crime fiction, psychological thrillers, and gothic small-town mysteries, this novel dives into the dark underbelly of legacy, greed, and the lies we inherit.
