Explanation To Books The Last Child ( Johnny Merrimon #1)

Thirteen year-old Johnny Merrimon had the perfect life: a warm home and loving parents; a twin sister, Alyssa, with whom he shared an irreplaceable bond. He knew nothing of loss, until the day Alyssa vanished from the side of a lonely street. Now, a year later, Johnny finds himself isolated and alone, failed by the people he'd been taught since birth to trust. No one else believes that Alyssa is still alive, but Johnny is certain that she is—confident in a way that he can never fully explain.

Determined to find his sister, Johnny risks everything to explore the dark side of his hometown. It is a desperate, terrifying search, but Johnny is not as alone as he might think. Detective Clyde Hunt has never stopped looking for Alyssa either, and he has a soft spot for Johnny. He watches over the boy and tries to keep him safe, but when Johnny uncovers a dangerous lead and vows to follow it, Hunt has no choice but to intervene.

Then a second child goes missing...

Undeterred by Hunt's threats or his mother's pleas, Johnny enlists the help of his last friend, and together they plunge into the wild, to a forgotten place with a history of violence that goes back more than a hundred years. There, they meet a giant of a man, an escaped convict on his own tragic quest. What they learn from him will shatter every notion Johnny had about the fate of his sister; it will lead them to another far place, to a truth that will test both boys to the limit.

Traveling the wilderness between innocence and hard wisdom, between hopelessness and faith, The Last Child leaves all categories behind and establishes John Hart as a writer of unique power.

Notice Regarding Books The Last Child ( Johnny Merrimon #1)

This was a fast-paced engaging tale that kept me reading far into the night. Hart writes sequentially without an outline, a style that makes for very well developed and engaging characters. There are a couple holes in plot but they are mostly fairly minor and didnt take away from my enjoyment of the story. I recently had the opportunity to meet John Hart and he revealed some interesting tidbits about the story. For one thing, Johnny Merrimon, the young man at the heart of this story, appeared in

3.75★This was my suspend reality read for the month. You know when the words mystery and thriller are used in the same sentence to describe a book, there is going to be too much coincidence and unbelievable thriller stuff happening to characters. But that is why books like this are written and read. Not to be taken too seriously. But not as intelligent as I was hoping it would be. Reality aside, factual details should still count. Example: Johnny's mother could not be coming off drug addiction

Redemption Road by John Hart was my first encounter with this author's work. It became one of my all-time favorite reads. All the elements of a harsh, gritty reality was present, with a compassionate touch of goodness thrown in to ensure the reader's emotional survival. John Hart wrote a thriller like I wanted it to be. Perfectly so. Perhaps it can be called a literary thriller, since there was just so much more on offer than the usual.For this reason I jumped at the opportunity to read The Last

Who is this author John Hart?! Late to the party yet again? Damn. Comparisons to Mr Grisham may be very well founded. I dont normally like to draw comparisons, but this was mentioned on the insert of the back cover. Im impressed. Not in a courtroom way, but I really did love this book. I also find it hard to use the words favourite book of the year, but this was awesome! So glad to be a part of the Goodreads community yet again thanks to the friends who steered me to this one. I wouldn't have

This book is John Hart's third, and the third that I've read. There is a common theme in his books. Take an ordinary happy person and turn their dreams into nightmares.In this book, Johnny's sister was abducted a year ago and never found, which resulted in his father leaving, his mother turning to drugs and alcohol, the loss of his home, and his obsession with finding her.In this book, a well-respected detective has lost his wife, is losing his son, and is also obsessed with finding Johnny's
