Last Call

A Sloane Merritt Missing Persons Thriller

Published Copy

Blurb

A missing college student. A mystery that begins with one last walk into the night.

When twenty-two-year-old Layon “LJ” Price vanishes after a night out near the Chattahoochee River, police assume the worst: a drunk college kid, a dark riverbank, a tragic accident.

But LJ’s father isn’t convinced. And neither is private investigator Sloane Merritt.

Four days missing. No body. No witnesses. Just a bar fight, fractured relationships, and a final glimpse of LJ walking into the night.

As Sloane digs deeper, the timeline begins to fracture. Security footage reveals blind spots. Witnesses remember shouting—but no splash. And every answer seems to raise a more dangerous question.

Did LJ fall? Did he run? Or did someone make sure he never made it home?

Meanwhile, a long-silent witness in Eden Pike’s disappearance finally steps forward—bringing Sloane closer than ever to the truth she’s been chasing for twenty years.

Last Call is book 4 in the gripping Sloane Merritt Missing Persons Thriller series—perfect for fans of twisty investigations, emotional suspense, and mysteries that don’t let go.

Author

M.K. Quinn is a Georgia-based author, armchair detective, and lifelong observer of the shadows between ordinary life and the mysteries that lurk beneath it. A self-professed missing-persons obsessive, she has spent years studying real cases, investigative techniques, and the emotional toll of unresolved disappearances—passions that fuel every page of the Sloane Merritt Missing Persons Series. When she’s not writing twisty, character-driven thrillers, M.K. lives in Atlanta with her endlessly supportive husband and their three mischievous cats, who firmly believe they’re her true co-authors. The Sloane Merritt Series is her debut, marking the beginning of a dark, compelling universe built for readers who love smart heroines, layered mysteries, and stories that refuse to let go.
