About this listen

* THE BLISTERING FINAL INSTALMENT OF THE AWARD-WINNING HIGHWAY 59 SERIES *

Texas Ranger Darren Mathews has handed in his badge. A choice made three years before, which served justice if not the law, means that he may now stand trial. And his mother - an intermittent and destructive force in his life - is the cause of his fall from grace.

And yet it is his mother's reappearance that may also be his salvation. A black girl at an all-white sorority at a nearby college is missing, her belongings tossed in a dumpster. Her sorority sisters, the college police, even the girl's own family, deny that she has disappeared, but Sera Fuller is nowhere to be found. A bloodstained shirt discovered in a woodland clearing may be the last trace of her. And Darren's mother wants her son to work the case.

Disillusioned by an America forever changed by the presidency of Donald Trump, Darren reluctantly agrees. Yet as he sets out to find a girl whose family don't want her found, it is his own family's history that may be brought painfully into the light. And a reckoning with his past may finally show Darren the future he can build.

Editorial Review

A fitting finale
It’s been a long while since author and screenwriter Attica Locke has graced us with her elegant and evocative prose – five years to be exact – but Guide Me Home was well worth the wait. In the final novel of Locke’s Highway 59 trilogy, former Texas Ranger Darren Mathews is pulled out of early retirement by his estranged mother to investigate the disappearance of a Black college student in an all-white sorority. The case takes Mathews back along Highway 59, deep into East Texas, eventually landing him in the mysterious town where the student’s family resides, and where nothing is as it seems. Set against the backdrop of 2019’s contentious political climate, Mathews’s story is soulfully guided to a fitting end by narrator JD Jackson, one that is filled with heartache and pain, but also reconciliation and redemption. — Margaret H., Audible Editor

Highway 59 revisited

This is literary fiction as much or more than it is crime fiction. Ms Locke’s books are worth reading for the quality of her prose alone. It reminds me of James Lee Burke in his younger, better days, and not just because of the East Texas location. I thought she came on a bit strong with the politics early on, although things felt more nuanced by the end.

Terrific Read

This series continues to be wonderful. Intelligent and thought provoking ideas cleverly woven into a great thriller/crime story. A look at the working class struggles of modern Americans. Great narration. Hope there are more to come.
