The Last to Vanish

In her latest novel, available July 26, New York Times bestselling author and Charlotte resident Megan Miranda tells the story of the fictional North Carolina mountain resort town of Cutter’s Pass.

As the book begins, a string of unsolved disappearances that has haunted the town is once again thrust into the spotlight when investigative journalist Landon West, who was staying at an inn managed by Abigail Lovett, disappears himself. Abby has sometimes felt like an outsider within the community, but she’s come to view Cutter’s Pass as her home. When Landon’s brother Trey shows up looking for answers, Abby can’t help but feel the town closing ranks. And she’s still on the outside. When she finds incriminating evidence that may bring them closer to the truth, Abby soon discovers how little she knows about her coworkers, neighbors, and even those closest to her. Hardcover, 336 pages, $27.99; e-book, $14.99 (prices may vary by retailer).
