Two hikers go missing along the Appalachian Trail, leaving only a bloodstained forest behind them, and when another hiker collapses on someone’s porch in New Hampshire, murdered by crossbow, the local police realize they have a serial killer on their hands––and need to call in the FBI. FBI Agent Tara Mills is young, brilliant and new to the force. With a promising career in front of her, she faces the ultimate test when she is assigned the case. It soon proves to be more challenging than she ever could have imagined––an impossible riddle that leaves even her seasoned partner stumped.

ONE LAST UNVEIL is book three in the FBI mystery series by author Sarah Sutton. A true-crime podcaster is found brutally stabbed to death in her home after walking her child to the bus stop. At first, all signs point to those closest to her. But when a friend and fellow podcaster digs into her obsession—a cold case laid to rest for fifteen years—and later turns up dead too, local police and the FBI realize that a serial killer dubbed the Silent Stalker could be striking again for the first time in years. With the FBI called in and no leads to follow, they quickly realize they need a brilliant mind to crack the case: FBI Agent Tara Mills. But Tara is reluctant at first. The case reminds her too much of her mother’s when it’s revealed that the victim’s daughter, a selective mute, lost her mother at the same age as Tara. But Tara is compelled as she realizes it is only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. As she peels back each layer, she falls deeper into the darkest depths of her mind and into the nightmares she had tried so hard to escape. Meanwhile, Tara digs deeper into her past, obsessed with revealing the mystery woman visiting her father in prison, which leads to a shocking discovery. As she battles her own psyche and more victims are murdered, Tara realizes that the key to solving it all could be what she finds most triggering: her connection to the victim’s daughter. As she takes a path she fears to travel, deep into the depths of her mind, she unveils a truth she never expected.

The Last Step is a fast-moving, exciting archeological mystery thriller set among the Mayan ruins in Copan, Honduras, including the magnificent hieroglyphic stairway rediscovered by Harvard archeologists in the 1930s. The statues of five Mayan kings adorn the stairway, whose thousands of carved hieroglyphic stones recording the kings' reigns were dislodged by ancient earthquakes. Unable to decipher the stones, the archeologists reassembled them at random on the stairway's 64 steps. They also purloined and shipped one king's statue to the Harvard Peabody Essex Museum, where it remains today. Harvard graduate student Alexis Hoffman, who seeks to return the stolen statue to Copan and to decipher the stairway, teams with electronics whiz Ben Acebo to develop novel computer techniques to catalog, correctly reassemble and "read" the hieroglyphic stones, and to reconstitute worn stone carvings and drawings. She also convinces Ben, lawyer/amateur archeologist David Elliot, and a sculptor friend to create an exact copy of the stolen king statue. The four then embark on a hazardous journey to return the duplicate statue to Copan, reassemble the stairway's hieroglyphic stones, discover the location of vast treasures removed from the five kings' burial chambers under the stairway, and discern the true meaning of December 21, 2012 -- the end of 5000 years of Mayan history. According to Mayan lore, what happened then can be explained only by deciphering certain hieroglyphic stones correctly reassembled on the last and highest step of the reconstituted stairway. The team encounters international intrigue and bewildering clues found on Copan statues and ceramics, and in the four surviving Mayan books in Mexico City, Madrid, Paris and Dresden, Germany museums. They also endure sinister events at Harvard, a harrowing flight to a remote Honduran island, a dangerous trip through mountain roads and rivers, drug criminals, murderous witchdoctors, man-eating jaguars, snakes, missing stairway stones, and unknown saboteurs to return the statue, find the kings' relocated treasures, and decipher the cosmic meaning of the stairway's last step.
