First published in Canada in 1999, from debut author Andrew Pyper, Lost Girls is a stunning thriller of vanished teenagers and shady sleuths.
Accessible and exciting, fast paced and intricate, it's a contemporary story couched in the tradition of great crime writing.

"[Lost Girls] is a satisfying, old-style morality tale set inside a ripping good - and complex - story, brimming over with 90's style pockmarked souls and bruised psyches." - Zsuzsi Gartner, reviewer.

Industry Reviews

This is part psychological thriller, part courtroom drama, set against the backdrop of the Canadian backwoods. When two 14-year-old girls go missing in a rundown town in Northern Ontario, their eccentric high school teacher Thom Tripp is charged with their murder. Hotshot lawyer Barth Crane is assigned as defence counsel, but his cynical, coke-fuelled confidence is undermined when he learns of a horrifying local legend. Who is the mysterious girl who phones at the dead of night? Does Fireweed Lake hide a malign presence? And why do the faces of the gargoyles around the walls of his Edwardian hotel seem to change? Crane's sanity begins to break down as he is forced to confront the rising tide of his memory as well as the intransigence of his client. As events spiral towards a terrifying climax, Crane must make a final choice between destruction and redemption. (Kirkus UK)
