Up-and-coming attorney Leigh Larson represents victims of sexual extortion, harassment, and online abuse and channels her ambition into taking down sleazy targets for her clients. She keeps her life tightly focused on her career until a seemingly routine client engagement pulls her into danger.

The car is registered to twenty-six-year-old Vanessa Adams, who has vanished, and Leigh and Brandon must follow bewildering evidence and shocking twists to locate a ruthless criminal before time runs out.

When a blood-smeared abandoned car registered to missing Vanessa Adams contains Leigh Larson's business card, attorney Leigh and detective Brandon Reynolds must find her.

What to Know Before Reading Last Seen Alone

The description focuses on a procedural missing person investigation that pairs a driven attorney with an Austin homicide detective. Much of the setup centers on Leigh Larson's work defending victims of sexual extortion and the unusual crime scene Brandon discovers. The narrative emphasizes police procedure, time pressure, and a hunt for a vengeance-driven criminal. This may appeal more to someone interested in mystery and thriller stories that combine legal advocacy with investigative action.
