The Last Girl Taken
(2026)(The third book in the Suburban Secrets series)
A novel by Stephanie Hazeltine
Every parent’s worst nightmare is losing a child.
For Iris, that fear becomes an obsession.
When a local kidnapping exposes a child trafficking ring, Iris is consumed by the thought that her own children could be next. When the investigation stalls and everyone seems to move on, she can’t. Every spare moment is spent searching for answers—digging into case files, transcripts, and news reports.
Her police officer husband warns her to let it go, that her obsession is unhealthy and dangerous.
But Iris can’t stop. Not when children are still disappearing.
The deeper Iris digs, the more convinced she is that someone close to her is involved.
And she will have to risk far more than she ever imagined.
Genre: Mystery
