<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Amidst dramatic climate change in the year 2053, a father takes up the search for his kidnapped daughter, determined to find her no matter where it takes him or what he must do.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's 2053 and climate change has left billions homeless and starving--easy prey for the pandemics that sweep across the globe, and for the violent gangs and people-smugglers who thrive in the crumbling world where 'King Death' reigns supreme. The father's world went to hell two years ago. His four-year-old daughter was snatched when he should have been watching. The moments before her disappearance play in a perpetual loop in his mind. But the police aren't interested; who cares about one more missing child? It's all down to him to find her, him alone.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Nevill's portrayal of the breakdown of civilisation, mirrored by the father's own spiralling moral crisis, is unflinchingly realistic--though not without hope. The author says he wanted the novel to amend "the status of climate change from the existential to the very real", and in this <i>Lost Girl </i>succeeds brilliantly." --<i>Guardian</i><br><br>"Grimly satisfying." --<i>Booklist</i><br><br>"Nevill ornaments his tale of brutality and bloodshed with florid Gothic prose, like flock wallpaper gracing a torture dungeon. There's acute psychological insight amid <i>Lost Girl's</i> squalid inferno, and the author's vision of our near future is horribly plausible." --<i>Financial Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Adam Nevill</b> is the author of<i>The Ritual</i>, <i>Last Days, </i> and <i>House of Small Shadows</i>. <i>The Ritual</i> and <i>Last Days</i> both won The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel and ALA's RUSA Award for Horror.
