Once I started "The Lost Man" I couldn't put it down until I had read every page. I love finding a mystery/thriller that pulls you into its twisted world and won't let you come up for air. The Lost Man is a tense psychological thriller about the price of fame, the horror of obsession, and ultimately, the power of redemption. As Jack's true psychotic and homicidal nature is revealed, Chris is pulled into a horrific nightmare that threatens his entire world, maybe even his life. The reasons for Chris’s rebirth turn out to be darker and more deadly than he could ever imagine. But this good fortune comes with a price. Obstacles that kept him from finding work now miraculously (and mysteriously) disappear. At first, Jack seems a Godsend-a true pal, a sincere fan, maybe even a guardian angel. A chance latenight encounter on a lonely canyon road, where Jack throws Chris a lifeline after a drunken car accident, brings these two men together. He's an alcoholic and an unfaithful husband on the verge of losing everything, and he’s praying for a second chance.Įnter Jack Webb, a humble, enigmatic man from Arizona who claims to be one of Chris’s biggest fans. Chris Gable, a once successful but now struggling B-list Hollywood action star, has let his life and career spiral out of control after the death of his young daughter and several years of unemployment.
