Book Description:
In her thrill-packed trilogy Cold Truth, Hard Truth, and Dark Truth, Mariah Stewart proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she can brilliantly and suspensefully handle the truth. Can you? Then prepare yourself for the shocking, eye-opening Final Truth, in which a woman who specializes in exposing lies finds herself trapped in a real-life nightmare.
All that stands between Lester Ray Barnes and the state of Floridas death chamber is a judges signature. He is sentenced to die for the rape and murder of a young woman, his conviction hinging on two pieces of evidence: DNA testing and an eyewitness who placed him at the scene. But when the story breaks that the DNA testimony at trial had been fabricated and that the eyewitness was coerced by a cop, all hell breaks loose. In the absence of credible evidence to sustain the conviction, the court is forced to set Lester Ray free. Its the sort of circus the media adoreuntil it turns into the kind of Grimms fairy tale the media love even more.
Intrigued by the story of a young man railroaded by justice, true-crime writer Regan Landry is drawn into Lester Rays camp like a moth to a flame. For Regan, writing is a way to stay connected to her late literary-legend father, and her knack for detective work makes her a natural when it comes to uncovering new leads in even the murkiest mysteries.
Eager for the spotlight, Lester Ray willingly agrees to work with Regan on a tell-all about his experience as an innocent man on death row. But less than a week after leaving prison, he vanishes from the Sunshine State. Soon after, darkness descends on the outer banks of North Carolina as a string of women are raped and murdered in a frenzied spree. Fearing the worst, Regan, along with Special Agent Mitch Peyton and the FBI, sweeps in to confront the unspeakable: the horrifying possibility that they have helped to free a cunning monster with an insatiable appetite for deathand a ruthless determination never to be caged again.

Final in the TRUTH series. But don't worry if you haven't read the other 3...it is good as a stand alone.
Good series... romance mixed with murder mystery.
Final book in the Truth Series. Regan Landry (true crime writer)has found the subject of her next book - a man on death row who is going to be released because of incorrect DNA. Then the killing begins again.....She and boyfriend, FBI agent, Mitch Peyton, must track him down. Also solves the mystery of Eddie Kroll.
Star crime journalist Regan Landry has long struggled to emerge from the shadow of her literary-legend father. Now she's onto the story of a lifetime: a convicted rapist-murderer freed from death row hours before his execution. Lester Ray Barnes had maintained his innonce from the very beginning-but a week after speaking to Regan, he mysteriously vanishes.......and soon afterward, young women start turning up dead on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Is it coincidence, or merely the next chapter in a grisly saga that should have ended in the death chamber? Tracking a trail of chilling clues, Regan and FBI special agent Mitch Peyton must confront the horrifying possibility that they have helped to free a cunning monster with an insatiable appetite for death- and a ruthless determination never to be caged again.
A final installment well worth waiting for. I wasn't ready for it to be over and yet couldn't wait to find out "whodunit."
