Overview

In The End of His Journey, the second book in the Leslie Elliott mystery series, the idyllic island where Leslie lives in southwest Florida is shaken by the return of drug dealer, Jamie Thompson, who escaped the law and has vowed revenge on Leslie for exposing his cohorts and their thriving cocaine business. When his presence leads to two deaths, Leslie sets out to uncover the truth, recruiting her newspaper buddy, Wes Avery, and an unlikely ally to help. While assisting Leslie, Wes hears about the story of a young island resident who was said to have committed suicide at a party 20 years ago. His tortured father and old-timers in the community are still seeking answers to what happened that night. When Wes and Leslie join forces on both cases, they discover surprising and dangerous connections between the current tragedies and the two-decades-old shooting.
