One of the best, top-rated mystery thriller and suspense books you'll read this year. If you're looking for a genuine edge-of-your seat read, a thrilling mystery adventure awaits. From award-winning mystery book favorite Chris Knopf.

"A high-spirited romp with more exotic locations than the last three James Bond films." -Kirkus

Overview of CRIES OF THE LOST
When Arthur Cathcart emerged from a coma and set out to track down whoever murdered his wife, the results were far from pre-ordained. Wounded and alone, grief-stricken and hiding off the grid, he thought the only mystery was who killed Florencia, and why?

Now, in place of "who killed Florencia?" he's forced to ask "who was Florencia?"

So Arthur takes off again to do what he knew he did best: Finding stuff out.

What follows is a chase around the world. Cathcart plunges into the world of international terrorism and government intrigue, where the currency is betrayal and the rewards are calculated in blood and revenge.
