Synopsis: A mysterious private investigator embodies the darkness hidden within a small town in this spellbinding thriller that will &“make you a Scott Carson fan for life&” (Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author).Marshall Miller would&’ve remembered her face even if he hadn&’t seen it on a MISSING poster. When a young woman disappears in his small town, the investigation hinges on Marshall&’s haunted sighting of her, crying in the back seat of a police car driven by a cop named Maddox. There&’s only one problem: no local cop named Maddox exists. But the speeding ticket he handed to Marshall certainly does. Dealing with police and media is heady stuff for a teenager, the son of a single mother, but Marshall is sure he can handle it, until the shocking day when his reliability as a witness implodes. Now scorned and shamed, he finds unlikely allies as he confronts the ancient secrets behind his small town&’s peaceful façade—and learns the truth about his own family. Lost Man&’s Lane is a coming-of-age tale that proves why its author has been hailed as &“a master&” by Stephen King who consistently offers &“eerie, gripping storytelling&” (Dean Koontz).
