"A teenager explores the darkness hidden within his hometown in this spellbinding supernatural thriller from bestselling author Scott Carson. For 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.

Marshall 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.

Lost 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."

Reviews for Lost Man's Lane

"""The best Scott Carson novel yet! Horror writers are always being compared to Stephen King, quite often without the quality to back up the comparison, but here we have the real deal! In this beautifully executed coming-of-age horror, Carson weaves a tale all his own, replete with unsettling evil and the questions of love and loss, of trust and family, that plague us all. LOST MAN'S LANE creeped me out, and I loved every shiver!""--Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of THE HOUSE OF LAST RESORT and ROAD OF BONES ""With LOST MAN'S LANE, Scott Carson fuses a gothic spellbinder steeped in old-American lore with the piercing ache of a coming-of-age story, bittersweet and filled with longing. With echoes of Ray Bradbury and Peter Straub, it's a dazzling, genuinely terrifying novel that hovers darkly in your head long after you finish.""--Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of BEWARE THE WOMAN ""Nobody makes you believe the unbelievable better than Scott Carson. LOST MAN'S LANE channels Stephen King's very best.""--Robert Dugoni, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Tracy Crosswhite Series ""Scott Carson has done it again. LOST MAN'S LANE is a richly imagined, terrifying trip down memory lane. High school keggers and small town legends, first loves and heartbreaks, serpents and secrets -- it's all here in one action-packed story. Poignant, nostalgic, and profoundly unsettling, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Carson is a spellbinding storyteller and LOST MAN'S LANE is his best yet."" --Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author of Gwendy's Final Task and Becoming the Boogeyman"
