Reviews
"It's obvious that Locke loves her home state of Texas and she describes places in a way that appeals to the senses, making it easy to visualize the beauty of a slate-blue sky. Her writing allows you to imagine the taste and smell of the vegetables that Darren grows in his garden. Equally, she is not blind to the less pleasant realities of Texas like the oppressive heat and racism... You will savor this clever and well-written trilogy." -- Crime Fiction Lover, "Locke's writing is absolutely on fire, simmering with tension, and this series is not to be missed."-- The Guardian, "By turns gut-wrenching, emotionally real, suspenseful, and hopeful. There may not be a next book in this series, but I'm looking forward to anything Locke writes next."-- The Southern Bookseller Review, "Tense, gripping...Locke writes with deep affection about her native east Texas, but also unflinchingly exposes its deep racism: the personal, political, and economic history that allows wealthy white people to manipulate people of color. Locke weaves together the mystery of Sera's disappearance with the fraught realities of Trump-era Texas, and explores Darren's complex feelings about the career he loves and the mother he has never truly known. Powerful and unsettling, full of layered characters and difficult choices, Guide Me Home is a mystery for readers who appreciate nuance and resist too-tidy endings."-- Shelf Awareness, STARRED, "The story that unfolds proves that Locke is one of the rare authors who can call attention to societal injustices without letting it hamper her momentum."-- The Washington Post, "Locke's main order of business here is with Darren's reckoning and reconciliation with a past as full of deceit and false leads as even the most elaborate whodunit. We've missed Attica Locke's deft and wise way with the crime novel. We want more."-- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED

Synopsis
In this stunning culmination of the award-winning Highway 59 trilogy, Detective Darren Mathews is pulled out of an early retirement to investigate the case of a missing black college student from an all-white sorority--and soon finds a town that will stop at nothing to keep its secrets hidden. Texas Ranger Darren Mathews isn't sure he's been a good cop, but believes he's got a shot at being a good man--if he manages to dodge the potential indictment hanging over his head and if he, from here on out, pledges allegiance to the truth. It's a virtue the country appears to have wholly lost its grip on, but one Darren sees as his salvation. He is in the midst of remaking his life with the woman he loves, hoping for the peace of country living at his beloved farmhouse, when he is visited by someone who couldn't hold the truth on her tongue if it was dipped in sugar, a woman who's always been bent of tearing his life apart. His mother. Armed with a tall tale about a missing Black college student, Sera (whose white sorority sisters insist she isn't missing at all). Darren must decide if his can trust his mother is telling the truth--and what her ulterior motive may be, and what if that motive has to do with a grand jury deciding his fate. Darren gets his hooks into the investigation, along the way discovering things about Sera's family and her hometown that are odd at best, vaguely sinister at worst. Hamstrung by local law enforcement and the Texas Rangers who likewise doubt the account of a missing girl, if Darren wants answers, he'll need help from the person whom he swore to never trust again--his mother. In this emotionally stirring conclusion to the singular Highway 59 series, set three years after the events of Heaven, My Home, Darren reckons with his life's purpose as he's forced to choose between his own peace and the higher call to do good.
