Last Case for Fletcher Jones
The Journal's of Fletcher Jones - Book 10
By Joe Schipani
After thirty years in homicide, Detective Fletcher Jones is finally preparing to retire.
The paperwork is sitting on his kitchen table when the phone rings before dawn. The call sends him to a cemetery where he discovers the body of Arthur Brody-his first partner, mentor, and the man who taught him everything about being a detective. Brody has been executed, and tucked inside his coat is a chilling message meant for Fletcher alone.
YOU'RE NEXT.
What begins as the murder of a retired detective quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. As former partners and colleagues begin turning up dead, Fletcher realizes someone is systematically targeting the people who shaped his career. Detectives, judges, witnesses, journalists, and informants connected to decades of investigations are being erased one by one.
The deeper Fletcher digs, the more disturbing the truth becomes.
A hidden list links every victim to cases stretching back thirty years. Forgotten murders, political corruption, organized crime, and buried conspiracies all point toward a single shadow lurking behind the city's history. A man believed dead for more than two decades may still be alive, quietly manipulating events from behind the scenes while settling old scores.
Joined by Detective Sue Richards and haunted by memories of partners long gone, Fletcher races against time to stop a killer who knows every detail of his past. Every clue leads deeper into a maze of secrets, and every answer reveals another chapter of a conspiracy that has survived generations.
As friends fall, enemies resurface, and the city threatens to consume itself once again, Fletcher is forced to confront the possibility that his entire career has been building toward this final investigation.
His final case.
His final reckoning.
And perhaps his final chance to uncover the truth before becoming the last name crossed off the list.
Dark, atmospheric, and deeply personal, Last Case for Fletcher Jones brings Joe Schipani's acclaimed noir detective series to a powerful conclusion. A story about loyalty, memory, corruption, and the price paid by those who spend their lives chasing the truth, this final installment proves that some cases never truly end-and some ghosts never stop hunting the living.
