The Last Child by John Hart is the story of a thirteen year old child's quest to find his missing twin sister.
Being that I am a parent... I usually do not seek out tales involving child abduction; just way too scary a subject to contemplate. Now that being said, Hart's page turning suspenseful plot touches at the deepest core of human emotions: profound grief and how one comes to terms with catastrophic loss. I am glad I took the time to read this book.
John Hart accurately portrays subjects such as domestic violence, drug abuse, and child neglect. Hart's characters struggle with the limitations encountered in law enforcement and child protection agencies.
If you are a fan of murder mysteries and well polished suspense novels, this book will keep you on your toes with unexpected twists and surprising turns from the first to the final page.
