The Last Quiet Room:

A Gideon Shaw Mystery

By Harlan Voss
Published by North Watch House Publishing

Some cases refuse to stay buried.

When a high-profile healthcare executive is found dead inside a luxury Chicago hotel room, homicide detective Lena Mercer expects a difficult investigation. What she does not expect is a page torn from a bestselling true-crime book lying beside the body, marked with five chilling words:

YOU GOT THE LAST ONE WRONG.

The book belongs to Gideon Shaw, a former FBI behavioral analyst who walked away from law enforcement seven years ago after a case destroyed his career and left him questioning everything he thought he knew about killers, evidence, and himself.

Then a second victim is found.

Another page.

Another message.

And suddenly Gideon realizes someone is not simply committing murder?they are reopening the one investigation he has spent years trying to forget.

Forced into an uneasy partnership, Gideon and Lena follow a trail of staged crime scenes, buried evidence, old betrayals, and secrets powerful people believed would stay hidden forever. As the killer draws closer, Gideon must confront the possibility that the greatest mistake of his career was not failing to catch a murderer.

It was believing the wrong person was guilty.

Dark, intelligent, atmospheric, and charged with sharp dialogue and slow-burning tension, The Last Quiet Room is the first novel in the Gideon Shaw Mystery series from Harlan Voss.

For readers who enjoy sophisticated murder mysteries, psychological suspense, compelling investigators, forensic twists, and characters whose personal lives become almost as complicated as the cases they investigate.
