About this listen

The new Joe Dillard novel.

A young girl vanishes without a trace in the dead of night.

Was her menacing absentee father involved? Or did something even more sinister occur?

In the 10th installment of the best-selling Joe Dillard series, Joe finds himself turning 50 and on the brink of despair. His involvement in his law practice has tapered to the point of near retirement. He spends his days with his wife, Caroline, who is finally succumbing to the ravages of cancer after a decade-long battle. His son, Jack, is struggling with alcohol abuse and self-loathing after accidentally killing a young mother while protecting the woman he hopes to marry. Joe is nearing the end of his rope.

When the girl goes missing, Joe learns she is a member of Jack’s little league team. Her disappearance derails his already teetering son and starts a ticking clock. If she’s not found within 48 hours, the chances of recovering her alive dwindle to nearly zero. Joe knows this, so Caroline charges him with finding her.

As the investigation ramps up, law enforcement quickly zeroes in on a likely perpetrator. The identity of the prime suspect hits closer to home than Joe could have possibly imagined, adding frantic urgency to his quest to find the girl.

“Pratt’s richly developed characters are vivid and believable, especially the strong Southern women who fight their male-dominated culture from behind a façade of vulnerability.” (Publishers Weekly)

It was worth the wait.

A great ending to the series, I found Scott Pratt on my kindle unlimited and loved all the books. He published more as I learned of his real life wife illness. Then the sadness of both of their passing. Appreciate his son completing his dad's work.

Family

I am going to kiss the Dillard family. I have been invested in their stories for months now and am sad to see them go.

Excellent Story; Sad for Series to End

It is amazing how us readers were able to get a much needed conclusion to the Joe Dillard series after Scott’s untimely death. I think he is looking down and so proud his legacy was honored and continued. While the story made me cry; it was well written and perfectly narrated. It had so many twists and turns, right up to the end. It also reinforced that the characters like real life are not perfect human beings but will do what it takes to protect those we love. Highly recommend reading this series from the beginning but can be a standalone book since it reminds us of the backstories and relationships among the diverse cast of characters.

Dillard family legend lives on

What’s not to like? If you have followed Joe Dillard from the first novel as I have, this is a continuation of the intense commitment to law and order.

I’m sad that the family dynamics changes. You could see it coming. But I hope the Dillards just build another strong branch on the family tree and continues with the legend Joe and Sarah started years ago.

I truly hope this is no the last book in the series.

Great series

I just finished the 10th book in the series and it’s really really good.
This is the first set of books from Scott Pratt, that I have read before and I really enjoyed it. Also, the narration was excellent.

Started at the end!

Found another author to enjoy only to discover that not only was I starting on his last book, the author had passed away! The topic of this novel was difficult to deal with but the way it was written was captivating. Looking forward to starting at the beginning of the Dillard series!
