Her fiance Dan is hiding a secret and the pressure of it is about to push him over the edge. Charlotte’s life is changed forever when her husband is arrested for killing a nightclub owner. Without knowing what to do next, a stranger named Keisha shows up on her doorstep. She has a story that will convince Charlotte of her fiance’s innocence and send her on a dangerous journey to clear his name.

The first book in the Paula Maguire series is called The Lost. This book sees forensic psychologist Paula Maguire returning to the hometown that she left years before as two teenage girls have gone missing. The town fears that this could be the work of a serial killer, but the truth might be much darker. Paula is trying to concentrate on the case while she is surrounded by people and places that she tried to forget. Is there a link between these disappearances and another incident in 1985? The truth lies in the town’s dark past.
