Justin Halpern: Get Lost, Gebunden

Klappentext

Finalist for the Golden Poppy Award for Best Mystery Novel

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Sh*t My Dad Says , a fast-paced and hilarious thriller about a young woman who reluctantly teams up with her deadbeat dad to find her missing mom-perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard.

When Lila Dixon gets a call that her mother has gone missing, she initially brushes it off-Mattie's disappearances are a part of life, like earthquakes in their dusty California hometown. But this time the prime suspect is Lila's larger-than-life father: the one-time baseball star, local hero, and fatal charmer John "Dix" Dixon.

Dix's main accomplishment as a dad was finding new ways to disappoint his daughter, but even Lila knows he's not behind this. And when they uncover a $250, 000 deposit to Mattie's bank account, and someone slips a threatening note under Lila's motel door, they realize Mattie may be in real danger. Now they're heading down a trail marked by unsavory Russian thugs, fat-cat farmers, and an unseen enemy who's always a step ahead.

With crackling banter and characters that leap off the page, Get Lost is a thrilling and emotionally layered mystery. Justin Halpern tells a story that's by turns hilarious and poignant: about fractured families, grudges that last a lifetime, and the unexpected ways we find our way back to the people we thought we'd lost for good.

"A tense whodunnit filled with so many laughs, so much heart, and so many characters you love that by the end you'll wish they never found out whodidit." -Phil Lord, co-director and producer of Project Hail Mary
