When a plane crashes into the dark Coyote Cove woods, Chief Maggie Riley hurries to the scene, only to discover a macabre nightmare. Everyone in the mangled wreckage is dead. Already fractured from a fresh loss of her own, the tragedy threatens to shatter her completely.

Then she sees it.

In the distance lies a child’s abandoned toy… and several sets of tracks leading deeper into the forest.

Scrambling to find the survivors, she’s shocked to discover that she and her team aren’t the only ones searching for them. Someone else has found them first—someone with no intention of helping them.

As the true horrors of what’s been brought to her small town emerge, the case turns agonizingly personal. Clues in the wreckage link the crash to the darkest chapter of Maggie''s past: the disappearance of her little brother. Forced to face her own haunting secrets—and guilt—about what happened, Maggie hunts for the man responsible, vowing revenge. She doesn’t just want justice. She wants blood. Even if it means sacrificing everything, including her own life, to get it.

THE LOST BOYS is a pulse-pounding journey that drags you deep into the dark underbelly of grief and desperation. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, D.K. Hood, and Melinda Leigh.
