A sheriff investigates his own brother’s murder, deep in the heart of Appalachia…
Estranged after a devastating betrayal, brothers Victor and Frank Landis – sheriffs of neighbouring counties – hadn’t spoken for years. In truth, Victor didn’t care if Frank was alive or dead. Until the day somebody killed him.
Crossing county lines in search of answers, Victor is soon on the trail of a sinister conspiracy that takes him deep into the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. From the poorest communities to the most powerful and corrupt organisations, he soon becomes ensnared in a dangerous web of drugs, trafficking and murder.
For Victor, finding the truth will mean uncovering dark secrets he’d rather have left buried, and risking everything to protect the family his brother left behind…
At once a gripping mystery and a moving portrait of life in an isolated, misunderstood community, The Last Highway is the latest atmospheric suspense novel from award-winning Sunday Times bestseller, RJ Ellory.
