concluding
The adjective concluding means "bringing to a close," or "final." If you're writing a mystery novel, you'll want to reveal in your concluding chapter the person whodunit.
Concluding can mean either "forming" the end of something or "being" the end of something. Often these end up being the same thing, anyway, like the concluding chapter or your mystery novel that comes last and sum everything up, or the concluding remarks ("closing statements") of a trial that wrap up the arguments and come on the last day.

The Treaty of Paris officially concluded the American Revolutionary War against Great Britain. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John Jay, and David Hartley represented the United States in the negotiations that led to the signature of the treaty on September 3, 1783. In the document, the British Crown acknowledged America’s existence as a free, sovereign nation, and ceded nearly all the formerly British territory east of the Mississippi to the United States. Congress voted to approve the treaty on January 14, 1784, which is now celebrated as Ratification Day.
