Lost

Michael Robotham's Suspect, hailed as "a lightning-paced debut" by Entertainment Weekly, was an international best- seller that raised the bar for thrillers. Now two characters from that acclaimed novel-Detective Vincent Ruiz and psychologist Joe O'Loughlin-return for the electrifying Lost.

When Detective Ruiz is pulled from the Thames, he has a bullet in his leg, a photograph of a missing (and presumed dead) girl in his pocket, and absolutely no memory of what happened. Nearby is a bloody boat, perhaps evidence of further damage from the night Ruiz can't remember. When his own colleagues start hounding Ruiz for answers-some even accusing him of faking amnesia-the battered and beleaguered detective turns to O'Loughlin to help recover his memories. And as the past comes back in fragments, the astonishing truth begins to crystallize.

This riveting follow-up to Suspect confirms Robotham as a brilliant new talent.
