“Lost Girls is a gut-punch of a novel, a horrifying look at human trafficking wrapped around a compelling thriller. It reminds me again why Shuman is one of my favorite reads.”
– Gregg Hurwitz, bestselling author of The Crime Writer

“[A] provocative thriller. Sherry’s unique talent opens doors for her, but it’s her determination [and] grit when things get rough that makes her such an appealing hero.”
—Publishers Weekly

Unusual for a male thriller writer, George Shuman not only “has the talent to put evil on the page and make it specific and real” (Washington Post), but also excels at creating nuanced female characters.  LOST GIRLS ups the ante with a trio of heroines. Sherry Moore continues to evolve as the most original protagonist to grace the thriller genre in recent memory. Her paranormal sight and physical blindness are richly imagined, altogether believable, and organically woven into the action-packed story. Carol Bishop, a mother dealing with unspeakable loss, is a complex melding of grief and steely resolve.  Rounding out these strong women is Aleksandra Goralski’s stubborn assertion of her own identity in spite of her captors’ brutal attempts to erase it. Together, these three women anchor the twists and turns of the plot and provide a human face to the unfortunately all-too-real problem of human sex trafficking. 

A topical page-turner that thrills and disturbs in equal measure, LOST GIRLS delivers on the promise of the previous Sherry Moore books and propels George Shuman to the front rank of today’s thriller writers.
