Resolution

Resolution - Bend of the Lake Book 3

Some debts get paid. Others just come due.

Arthur Thorne is finally being given what he spent years insisting he was owed: a chance to clear his name. New evidence has surfaced, decades old and impossible to ignore, tying a dead man to a disappearance no one in town ever stopped wondering about. All Arthur has to do is survive the process that destroyed him once already, and trust that this time, the truth and what can be proven are finally the same thing.

On the island, Cora has built a second life with the same precision she once used to take Arthur's first one away. It has held for years. It is not going to hold much longer. Federal investigators are not looking for her, but they are looking at exactly the kind of pattern she can't stop making, and the closer they get to understanding it, the closer they get to her.

And on the mainland, a retired detective who has spent thirty-five years refusing to put down one particular case finally has what he needs to close it, for a boy who disappeared in 1988, for a mother who never stopped asking, and for everyone who has been quietly waiting for someone to be made to answer for it.

Resolution is the conclusion of the Bend of the Lake trilogy - a story about what's owed, what's paid, and what people become while they wait to find out which is which.

The Bend of the Lake series should be read in order, beginning with Retribution.
