The Last Person Who Called
"The dead cannot attempt to contact us; it is our own memory that rings in the quiet."
Her sister died three years ago. So why did her number just leave a voicemail?
Former Detective Inspector Lena Cross spent two years testifying in a massive police corruption inquiry, ending her career to protect the truth. Now, she traces missing persons for families who have nowhere else to turn.
Then her phone buzzes with a fourteen-second voicemail from a disconnected number belonging to her dead sister, Nora.
"Lena, don't trust the list. If I stop checking in, don't go looking for me. Check who called you last."
Driven to uncover how a dead woman's phone could attach to a cell tower years after her fatal car crash, Lena untangles a nightmare buried deep inside the Witness Protection Unit. A secret list of compromised witnesses-people who gave evidence, were given new identities, and then mysteriously vanished after receiving a late-night phone call.
As evidence archives are unsealed, phone records are altered, and those who know the truth are silenced one by one, Lena is forced into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the very institution she used to serve. To expose the institutional rot that killed her sister, Lena must face a terrifying reality: the trap wasn't built for the witnesses on the list. It was built for her.
The Last Person Who Called is an addictive, claustrophobic psychological thriller about institutional secrecy, corrupted records, and the dangerous distance between accountability and betrayal. Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient, Local Woman Missing, and Line of Duty.
