Overview
A case closed for forty-two years. A secret someone will do anything to keep buried.
In 1984, eighteen-year-old Danny Voelker worked the final hours of his shift at a lonely St. Louis service station. By morning, three young people had been arrested, a suspect was headed for prison, and the city believed justice had been served.
More than four decades later, Detective Sergeant Mick Callahan and Detective Darius Coleman are called to a home on Mardel Avenue, where a carefully staged crime scene points them toward that long-forgotten night. The deeper they dig, the less the official story holds together.
A missing statement. Unaccounted-for evidence. A mysterious fourth name. And a dying man's claim that the truth was never told.
As Callahan and Coleman retrace the steps of the original investigation, they uncover old loyalties, inherited secrets, and a trail of deception stretching across generations. Someone has spent forty-two years protecting what really happened at Gateway Star-and that person may not be finished.
In a case where every answer creates another question, the detectives must decide whom to trust before the past claims another victim.
The Last Shift, Book 8 in From the Files of the St. Louis Police Homicide Division, is a gripping cold-case mystery about guilt, justice, and the terrible cost of a secret left buried too long.
