Description
Thirteen-year-old Johnny Merrimon has to face things no boy his age should face. In the year since his twin sister's abduction, his world has fallen apart: his father has disappeared, and his fragile mother is spiralling into ever deeper despair.
Johnny keeps strong. Armed with a map, a bike and a flashlight, he stalks the bad men of Raven County. The police might have given up on Alyssa; he never will. Someone, somewhere, knows something they're not telling.
Only one person looks out for Johnny. Detective Clyde Hunt shares his obsession with the case. But when Johnny witnesses a hit-and-run and insists the victim was killed because he'd found Alyssa, even Hunt thinks he's lost it.
And then another young girl goes missing...

The Last Child by John Hart is praised for its finely detailed prose and a literary edge, capturing a strong sense of atmosphere with southern gothic touches. The book masterfully tackles heavy subjects such as drug addiction, betrayal, and abuse with sensitivity, delivering a passionate and conflict-driven narrative. The Guardian notes it as satisfying as Hart's previous works.
