| Summary, Etc. |
"When Lila Dixon gets a call that her mother has gone missing, she initially brushes it off-Mattie's disappearances are a part of life, like earthquakes in their dusty California hometown. But this time the prime suspect is Lila's larger-than-life father: the one-time baseball star, local hero, and fatal charmer John "Dix" Dixon. Dix's main accomplishment as a dad was finding new ways to disappoint his daughter, but even Lila knows he's not behind this. And when they uncover a $250,000 deposit to Mattie's bank account, and someone slips a threatening note under Lila's motel door, they realize Mattie may be in real danger. Now they're heading down a trail marked by unsavory Russian thugs, fat-cat farmers, and an unseen enemy who's always a step ahead. With crackling banter and characters that leap off the page, Get Lost is a fast-paced and emotionally layered mystery. Justin Halpern tells a story that's by turns hilarious and poignant: about fractured families, grudges that last a lifetime, and the unexpected ways we find our way back to the people we thought we'd lost for good"-- Provided by publisher.
