A teenager explores the darkness hidden within his hometown in this spellbinding supernatural thriller from bestselling author Scott Carson. \nFor a sixteen-year-old, a summer internship working for a private investigator seems like a dream come true--particularly since the PI is investigating the most shocking crime to hit Bloomington, Indiana, in decades. A local woman has vanished, and the last time anyone saw her, she was in the backseat of a police car driven by a man impersonating an officer. \n \nMarshall Miller's internship puts him at the center of the action, a position he relishes until a terrifying moment that turns public praise for his sharp observations and uncanny memory into accusations of lying and imperiling the case. His detective mentor withdraws, friends and family worry and whisper, and Marshall alone understands that the darkness visiting his town this summer goes far beyond a single crime. Now his task is to explain it--and himself. \n \nLost Man's Lane is a coming-of-age tale of terror that proves why its author has been hailed as a master by Stephen King and one who consistently offers eerie, gripping storytelling by Dean Koontz. \nA mysterious private investigator embodies the darkness hidden within a small town in this spellbinding thriller that will make you a Scott Carson fan for life (Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author). \n \nMarshall Miller would've remembered her face even if he hadn't seen it on a MISSING poster. \n \nWhen a young woman disappears 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. \n \nThere's only one problem: no local cop named Maddox exists. \n \nBut the speeding ticket he handed to Marshall certainly does. \n \nDealing 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.
