About this ebook
Cole Mercer makes a living listening to other people's secrets. As a bartender in Bellhaven, he knows who is cheating, who is lonely, who is lying and who wants one more drink before going home. Hannah Reed was more than a regular, and that is exactly the problem when a detective asks Cole how well he knew her. Hannah is dead. Her husband soon joins the list of victims. Evidence begins appearing in places that point directly at Cole, including blood where no blood should be, messages no innocent man should receive and details only someone close to the crime ought to know. Cole lies to the police about his relationship with Hannah, and the decision turns him from nervous witness into the easiest suspect in town. With his face in the news and detectives closing in, he has one option: prove someone is constructing a case around him before the real killer finishes the job. His unlikely ally is Vivian Winters, a reporter who wants the story but is not foolish enough to trust him. Together they follow a trail of burner phones, hidden locations and manipulated evidence that suggests the murders are part of something more deliberate than jealousy. The person behind it is patient, adaptable and frighteningly good at predicting what Cole will do next. Secrets Behind the Last Call is a fast crime thriller about false evidence, secrets and a man forced to investigate the trap closing around him. Cole has spent years hearing strangers confess after midnight. Now his freedom depends on discovering which stranger has been listening to him just as carefully.
