Lost Man's Lane - Scott Carson

A teenager explores the darkness hidden within his hometown in this spellbinding thriller that will make you a Scott Carson fan for life (Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author). Marshall Miller would've remembered her face even if he hadn't seen it on a MISSING poster. When a young woman goes missing in his small town, the investigation hinges on Marshall's haunted sighting of her, crying in the back seat of a police car driven by a cop named Maddox.

There's only one problem: no local cop named Maddox exists. But the speeding ticket he handed to Marshall certainly does. Dealing with police and media is heady stuff for a teenager, the son of a single mother, but Marshall is sure he can handle it, until the shocking day when his reliability as a witness implodes.

Now scorned and shamed, he finds unlikely allies as he confronts the ancient secrets behind his small town's peaceful façade--and learns the truth about his own family. Lost Man's Lane is a coming-of-age tale that proves why its author has been hailed as a master by Stephen King who consistently offers eerie, gripping storytelling (Dean Koontz).
