Lost Lambs

The Flynn family is coming undone. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has reached its breaking point, while their three daughters spiral in their own chaotic orbits: Abigail is dating a man nicknamed War Crime Wes; Louise maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist; and the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to a wilderness reform camp for insisting someone — or something — is monitoring their small coastal town.

Casting a shadow over all of them is Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate whose rumoured corruption nobody dares investigate. Nobody except Harper, whose obsession with a mysterious shipping container sends the entire family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy that might, against all odds, bring them back together.

Irreverent, addictive, and surprisingly tender — Madeline Cash's debut is a family saga for the twenty-first century, crackling with dark wit and unexpected warmth.
