THE LAST DEAD GIRL
David Loogan’s dark past is revealed in this prequel to Bad Things Happen—the critically acclaimed mystery that Stephen King called a “great fucking book.”
Everyone has a past, but David Loogan’s is darker than most. The year is 1998, and Loogan—the Ann Arbor crime magazine editor at the center of Harry Dolan’s critically acclaimed novels Bad Things Happen (Amy Einhorn Books, July 2009) and Very Bad Men (Amy Einhorn Books, July 2011)—is twenty-six. He’s living in the city of Rome in upstate New York, under the name he was born with: David Malone.
On a rainy night in April, a chance encounter on a lonely road draws him into a romance with Jana Fletcher, a beautiful young law student. Jana is an enigma: living in a run-down apartment with only the barest of possessions, sporting a bruise on her cheek that she refuses to explain. David would like to know her secrets, but he lets them lie—until it’s too late.
When Jana is brutally murdered, the police consider David a prime suspect. As he clashes with Frank Moretti, the lead detective on the case, David sets out to uncover the truth about Jana. He soon learns that her death may be related to an earlier murder, one that she was obsessed with during the last weeks of her life. And as he retraces her steps and talks to the people who knew her best, he begins to realize that he’s treading a very dangerous path—and that her killer is watching every move he makes.
Harry Dolan graduated from Colgate University, where he majored in philosophy and studied fiction writing with the novelist Frederick Busch. A native of Rome, New York, he now lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with his partner, Linda Randolph.
