Kent Harrington

Fellini meets Elmore Leonard with a soundtrack by Nina Simone, so buckle up.
Brilliant but deaf French teenager Emma Barre has disappeared while visiting the City's famous Pier 39 with her parents. She is the latest victim of a serial killer able to spirit his victims away despite in full view of visitors from all over the world. Emma's only hope is troubled SFPD Detective Michael O'Higgins, currently taking Acid as part of an experimental program for PSTD patients. As O'Higgins closes in, he will come face-to-face with both the trauma that ruptured his own life, and a psychopath hell-bent on stealing the life of yet another a young girl. Kent Harrington is the author of numerous acclaimed novels, including Last Ferry Home, The Good Physician, which was named as one of the best novels of the last ten years by Booklist, Dark Ride, Dia de los Muertos, and The American Boys. Of Dark Ride, Michael Connelly said, "It reads like Jim Thompson interpreted by Quentin Tarantino."

Comments

From his superb noir Día de los Muertos (1997) through the first O'Higgins novel, Last Ferry Home (2018), Harrington has excelled at portraying damaged souls in a damaged world. He's back at it time and working at the top of his game in LAST SEEN.

Harrington reads like Jim Thompson interpreted by Quentin Tarantino.
