The brilliant, fearless, deeply flawed Nora Watts-introduced in the "utterly compelling" (Jeffery Deaver) atmospheric thriller The Lost Ones-finds deadly trouble as she searches for the truth about her late father in this immersive thriller that moves from the hazy Canadian Pacific Northwest to the gritty, hollowed streets of Detroit.
Growing up, Nora Watts only knew one parent-her father. When he killed himself, she denied her grief and carried on with her life. Then a chance encounter with a veteran who knew him raises disturbing questions Nora canīt ignore-and dark emotions she canīt control. To make her peace with the past, she has to confront it.
Finding the truth about her fatherīs life and his violent death takes her from Vancouver to Detroit where Sam Watts grew up, far away from his people and the place of his birth. Thanks to a disastrous government policy starting in the 1950s, thousands of Canadian native children like Sam were adopted by American families. In the Motor City, Nora discovers that the circumstances surrounding Samīs suicide are more unsettling than sheīd imagined.
Yet no matter how far away Nora gets from Vancouver, she canīt shake trouble. Back in the Pacific Northwest, former police detective turned private investigator Jon Brazuca is looking into the overdose death of a billionaireīs mistress. His search uncovers a ruthless opiate ring and a startling connection to Nora, the infuriatingly distant woman heīd once tried to befriend. He has no way to warn or protect her, because sheīs become a ghost, vanishing completely off the grid.
Focused on the mysterious events of her fatherīs past and the clues they provide to her own fractured identity and that of her estranged daughter, Nora may not be able to see the danger heading her way until itīs too late. But itīs not her fatherīs old ties that could get her killed-itīs her own.
"Kamal laces her narrative with a palpable melancholy, effectively capturing the urban decay of Detroit while emphasizing the vibrancy and hope of the people who inhabit it. An explosive finale...sets the stage for more to come from this complicated, flawed, and utterly enthralling heroine. A stunning, emotionally resonant thriller." Kirkus Reviews (starred)
