"In a coastal sea town,

there is an old scandal better left forgotten.

But that’s not how secrets work..."​

When Scott Brighton returns to Gig Harbor, Washington after several decades away, he hardly recognizes his hometown. The once quaint fishing town is now bustling with tourists and strip malls—hardly the uncultivated backdrop of his boyhood. But the years have not erased the unresolved wounds of the past, and Scott quickly finds himself drawn into the wake of a prank gone awry that entangled him and his high school friends in the mid-1970s.

As he
 crosses paths with some of the key players, how will he navigate the unspokenegrets? As he wars with his own conscience, will he find a semblance of rest, or will he cause further harm to those he holds dear?

The Last Culprit is a coming-of-age story that explores how people respond to trauma differently. In her telling of this story, Weis contends with human motivations, the sea between intention and impact, and what it takes to forgive ourselves and others.
