From the bestselling author of Killing Pablo, a haunting and
gripping account of the true-life search for the perpetrator of a
hideous crime - the abduction and likely murder of two young girls
in 1975 - and the skilful work of the cold case team that finally
brought their kidnapper to justice. In 1975, sisters Katherine and
Sheila Lyon, aged ten and twelve, vanished from a shopping mall in
suburban Washington, D.C. As shock spread, then grief, a massive
police effort found nothing. The investigation was shelved, and
mystery endured. Then, in 2013, a cold case squad detective found
something he and a generation of detectives had missed. It pointed
them toward a man named Lloyd Welch, then serving time for child
molestation. As a cub reporter for a Baltimore newspaper, Mark
Bowden covered the frantic first weeks of the story. In The Last
Stone, he returns to write its ending. Over months of intense
questioning and extensive investigation of Welch's sprawling,
sinister Appalachian clan, five skilled detectives learned to sift
fact from deception. How do you get a compulsive liar, desperate to
protect himself, to tell the truth?The Last Stone recounts a
masterpiece of criminal interrogation and delivers a chilling and
unprecedented look inside a disturbing criminal mind.
