    Since the disbanding of the Special Homicide Investigation Team, J. P. Beaumont’s biggest concern is pondering whether he and his wife Mel should finally get a dog. But one voicemail from his old friend Ralph Ames is about to change that. Through Ralph, Beau has become involved in an organization called The Last Chance, which enlists a number of retired homicide investigators to tackle long unsolved cold cases. The one that has just landed on Beau’s plate is a thirty-year-old missing persons case. 
    The facts are muddy at best; Janice Marie Harrison’s car was found abandoned near a bridge, and scratched in the dirt nearby was the word “sorry”. It’s possible her death was a suicide, but her body was never found. And as Beau begins to investigate, he discovers that no one connected to Janice—not her once all-star football player widower, Anders; not her long-grieving, sister, Estelle; not sheriff Gavin Loper, who was deputy sheriff at the time of Janice’s disappearance; and not Anders’ second wife Betsy—is exactly what they seem. The question is, which of them knows the truth? 
    And why have they kept it buried?

    They Took Her Sister. Now Sheʼs Taking Justice Into Her Own Hands. 
    When photographer Yaneriz Alvarez senses somethingʼs off, she listens—not to logic, but to the aching thread thatʼs always tethered her to her twin. Amaya, a soldier stationed at Fort Hood, has gone silent. The Army says sheʼs on leave. Her apartment says otherwise. And the voice of their dead grandmother whispering in Yanerizʼs ear wonʼt let her ignore the truth: something terrible has happened. 
    What starts as a sisterʼs search unravels into a chilling web of military coverups, misogyny, and systemic silence. But Yaneriz didnʼt come this far to be quiet. With nothing but her instincts, a camera, and the ghost of the woman who raised them both, sheʼll claw her way through the lies—even if it means becoming the monster they tried to make her out to be. 
    THE ALVAREZ GIRLS is a heart-wrenching novella that fuses psychological suspense, sisterhood, and social commentary into a devastating punch. Perfect for fans of The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz and Verity by Colleen Hoover—with a Dominican twist.
