Publisher Description
Two girls go missing. Only one will return.
The couple that offers the highest amount will see their daughter again. The losing couple will not. Make no mistake. One child will die.
When nine-year-old best friends Charlie and Amy disappear, two families are plunged into a living nightmare. A text message confirms the unthinkable: that the girls are the victims of a terrifying kidnapping.
And when a second text message pits the two families against each other for the life of their children, the clock starts ticking for Detective Kim Stone and the squad.
Seemingly outwitted at every turn, as they uncover a trail of bodies, Kim realises that these ruthless killers might be the most deadly she has ever faced. And that their chances of bringing the girls home alive are getting smaller by the hour…
Untangling a dark web of secrets from the families’ past might hold the key to solving this case. But can Kim stay alive long enough to do so? Or will someone’s child pay the ultimate price?
An utterly addictive thriller from No.1 bestseller Angela Marsons. If you like Karin Slaughter and Robert Dugoni, you will love Lost Girls!
Can be read as a standalone.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A kidnapping drives British author Marsons's riveting third outing for Det. Insp. Kim Stone (after Evil Games), set in the West Midlands. Nine-year-old girls Charlie Timmins and Amy Hanson are snatched before their parents can pick them up from the local leisure center and are held ransom. Hoping to pit the families against each other, the kidnappers send the parents text messages saying that the couple who outbids the other will see their daughter again, but the other parents will lose their daughter forever. Charlie's mother, Karen, insists on having Kim lead the investigation, recalling her resilience from their days in the foster care system together. While Karen is confident Kim will bring the girls home, the search begins with the discovery of the badly beaten bodies of people who knew Charlie and Amy. As the chances of bringing the girls home alive dwindle, Kim turns to a behavior consultant and professional negotiator for help. Told from multiple perspectives, this twisty tale will keep readers guessing until the very end. Marsons knows how to keep the pages turning.
