The Final Episode: A Thriller

by Lori Roy

When a true crime series chronicles the tragic childhood summer that changed her life forever, a young woman must grapple with the truth about her father...and herself.

Jennifer Jones and her best friends spend every summer at Big Cypress Swamp, and this summer, Jennifer will finally turn eleven. She hopes to gain the "second sight" foretold by family legend and fulfill her destiny. Instead, the swamp serves up dangers greater than the gators lurking on Halfway Creek. Little Francie Farrow vanishes--and Jennifer's father goes to prison.

Twenty years later, Jennifer has almost shed the label of Paul Jones's daughter when her past comes barreling back. Inspired by True Events, a TV series that solves the unsolvable, is recreating that fateful summer. As the series plays out, Jennifer wonders: Did the show finally find Francie Farrow? And is Jennifer's father truly guilty?

Someone else wants answers even more than Jennifer does, and they won't let her forget it.

As the series nears its finale and the long-awaited truth, Jennifer must come to terms with who her family is...and what that makes her.
