Last Words by Michael Koryta

Let me just say that if your claustrophobic then this is going to be a tough read ! Koryta's under the ground cave scenes were so descriptive that I could barely breath while reading them. I felt like I was stuck in a dark cave right along with Marcus the main character of the story.
Mark Novak is mourning the death of his wife when his company sends him to investigate the death of a young girl who died on the same day as his wife. Her death happened in newly discovered caverns and the man responsible for finding her was also accused of killing her although it could never be proved. Shortly after Mark arrives in this Midwest town he encounters hostility from everyone he meets to the point that he is looking guilty. More and more questions arise as Mark fights to just stay alive in his quest for the truth.
A tense and suspenseful page turner.
