THE LASTING ECHO OF LOST SOULS is the haunting third installment in the Jessica Stone Novella series, a powerful and unflinching look into the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls (MMIWG)-a tragedy hiding in plain sight.
Indigenous women disappear and die at staggering rates. And all too often, no one is held accountable.
Tribal Detective Sergeant Jessica "Medicine" Stone knows this reality all too well. When a teenage girl vanishes from a neighboring reservation and a string of cold cases reemerges with chilling similarities, Jessica is forced to confront the long shadows left behind by a system that rarely delivers justice for Native women. Partnering once again with FBI Agent Casey Borgreve, she must navigate a tangled web of jurisdictional red tape, racial bias, and the silences of grief-stricken families who've been failed again and again.
But this time, it's not just an investigation-it's a reckoning.
As Jessica and Casey chase leads both online and on the ground, the story also follows the families who refuse to let their daughters be forgotten-using social media, protest, and prayer to demand answers in a world where justice comes too late, if at all.
THE LASTING ECHO OF LOST SOULS is a raw, emotionally charged mystery that exposes the human cost of systemic indifference. Through Jessica's determined lens, it amplifies the voices of those lost-and those still searching-and insists that no one is invisible.
