Final Swipe

Her roommate’s death was ruled a suicide. But Cara knows someone is hiding the truth—and she’ll risk everything to expose it.

Becca was happy, hopeful, and preparing for a date the night she died. Yet the police declared her death a suicide, her family accepted the explanation, and everyone expects Cara to move on.

But Cara refuses to believe her best friend took her own life.

Desperate for answers, she downloads Spark, the dating app Becca had been using, and infiltrates the Bad Date Club, a group of women who gather weekly to share their worst dating experiences. Cara claims she’s looking for friendship and support while grieving.

In reality, she’s searching for a killer.

As Cara investigates Becca’s connections, she uncovers a chilling pattern. Other women have vanished or died under suspicious circumstances, their disappearances dismissed as accidents, suicides, or sudden relocations.

Three men emerge as possible suspects: a charming trauma surgeon connected to multiple victims, a bitter blogger with a disturbing attitude toward women, and a seemingly harmless man who has lingered around the group for years.

Cara is convinced one of them murdered Becca.

But as she closes in on the truth, someone begins tracking her movements. Then an anonymous message appears on her phone, warning her to abandon the investigation—or become the next victim.

With a killer watching her every move, Cara must uncover the truth before her next swipe becomes her last.
