Book Description:
THE TRUTH WON'T STAY BURIED.

News that the body of a recently murdered prostitute--stabbed repeatedly and dumped on Georgia's Shelter Island--has been identified as Shannon Randall stuns the FBI, particularly special agent Dorsey Collins. Twenty-four years ago, nineteen-year-old Eric Louis Beale was convicted and later executed for Shannon's murder--and the agent in charge of the case was Dorsey's father. Now Dorsey is determined to find out where her father's investigation went wrong, what part he played in the death of an innocent man, and where Shannon has been all this time.

The heat is on FBI special agent Andrew Shields to discover what happened to Shannon on that night decades ago--to find out who killed her and why. Dorsey shadows Andrew's every investigative move, hoping to redeem her father's reputation and capture a cunning killer. Together, Dorsey and Andrew unravel a shocking mystery that will shatter one family and rock an entire town.

I expected more romance, but overall this wasn't a bad book. It's mostly from the heroine's point of view,
but we get a little, maybe 20% from the Hero's perspective. Despite the story dragging a little bit in the middle
( like a bad episode of Law and Order) it picks up in the second half of the book and continued to keep my
interest all the way to the end...The main characters, both the good and bad guys are intriguing,
and keep you guessing till the mysteries are solved. Despite the lack of romance, I'm looking forward to reading the next 2 books
in the series!

LAST LOOK is a shocking and fasinating novel, I could not put it down and had no idea who had done what until the end. I really enjoyed this book.

Dorsey Collins is an agent with the FBI, following in her father's footsteps. She has been an agent for over eight yrs. Just coming off a bad relationship she is throwing herself into the job.

Andrew Shields is an older agent who has family problems of his own, and now he has a disaster for the FBI on his hands. His boss turns the mess over to him with the provision that Dorsey be allowed access to his notes.

Twenty four yrs ago her father made his name in the agency by leading the prosecution to charge and finally convict the man accused of murdering a fourteen yr old girl named Shannon Randall. Now a body has been found in Ga, it is identified as Shannon Randall. The problem is that she has only been dead for a few hours. The young man accused of her murder was executed by the state for the crime.

The shock waves of horror will destroy her father and Dorsey feels she must find out why this terrible misscarriage of justice happened. Not just for her father but for everyone involved. Suddenly, there are two cases, who killed Shannon now, and why was she believed dead by everyone when she disappeared. The young man was convicted on circumstantial evidence, there was no body.

The story unfolds in the place where it started, Hatton SC, where it seems no one wants to talk or find out what really happened.

This was this first book I have read by this author, and I will definetly be looking for more of them. The story was very well thought out, and characters well rounded. I also wanted to find out about the other relatives of the FBI agent, which means more of their stories. Well worth the credit!!

A dead woman turns up as a dumpee on Shelter Island. However, she also supposedly died 24 years ago. Good read
