The Last Login

Nora Mercer helps families sort through the digital lives their loved ones leave behind. She preserves photographs, closes accounts, and stops the reminders that make grief arrive all over again.
When Lydia Vales husband hires her, the assignment seems straightforward. Lydia died in a road collision. Her belongings need sorting. Her accounts need closing.
Then Nora discovers activity recorded nine days after Lydias death.
A message tells Lydias sister to stop asking questions. A recording speaks in a voice she would recognize anywhere—and mentions something Lydia could not have known. Inside the archive, Nora finds photographs of her own office, taken before she ever heard Lydias name.
Lydia had been watching her. And she had chosen Nora for a reason.
Following the evidence draws Nora toward Continuum, a company entrusted with preserving families most intimate memories. But the deeper she looks, the harder it becomes to separate what people actually left behind from what someone wants their families to believe.
A grieving husband has withheld a painful truth. A sister has kept something she should have disclosed. A journalist offers help while concealing how much he already knows. And the records lead Nora toward a scandal that destroyed her own family twelve years earlier.
To uncover what happened to Lydia, Nora must question the evidence she understands best—and the voices she most wants to trust.
When someone can speak for the dead, who gets to decide what they said?
The Last Login opens The Afterlife Archive trilogy: a psychological thriller of family secrets, digital deception, and the dangerous power of a familiar voice.
