Description

Three women scarred by a chain of misogyny and death at the hands of a secret brotherhood seek a reckoning.

The Lost Boys, an exclusive group of wealthy and powerful men, have built an impregnable empire by preying on rich and troubled women. Within the stately confines of an Adirondack fortress they lay the plans that carry them around the globe, infiltrating lives and fortunes. Their depredations, ingeniously disguised, have devastating consequences.

At seventeen, Evie Quimby, raised wild and poor in the Adirondacks, attracts the attention of the most predatory of the Lost Boys. When his obsessive interest turns into horrific violence, it sets off a chain of events that shatters Evie’s life. Years later, it costs Evie the one thing she can’t bear to lose. But when an investigation into a murdered Lost Boy pulls Evie back into their snare, Evie bands with her formidable mother and an embattled heiress, both victims of the Lost Boys, in pursuit of an unusual and heart- stopping vengeance.

“A sprawling baroque thriller that had me in its grip all the way.” - Richard E. Grant, Oscar-nominated actor, Can You Ever Forgive Me?

“Dirk Wittenborn understands that traditional male society is fragile and justifiably endangered. His vibrant female characters refuse to turn themselves into commodities or victims. Suspenseful, witty and wise, it is a compelling thriller.” - Susanna Moore, author of Paradise of the Pacific

Featured Reviews

So many twists and turns, plot was very surreal! Loved the characters, Evie and Luann became my best friends as they have the grit and brains of the kind of people I like. Author wrote characteristics of the men that made me really dislike them, except for Dill. I could actually visualize the mountain scenes, New York and Valhalla! This is a book I will highly recommend to friends and family for an awesome and intense read! Nice job, Dirk Wittenborn!

The main characters of this book are two very different women, who build a lifetime friendship together. Through their joint efforts they try to right the wrongs to many women, including themselves. The storyline never stops and holds the readers interest from beginning to end. While the Stone Girl is a broken statue, she represents how broken things can be repaired, but somehow are really never quite the same.

Such a good read on many levels. The characters grew and were entirely empathetic. The issues raised were credible. The ongoing suspense built and so it became a book you couldn't put down One of my best reads so far this year

This was everything you want in a great summer thriller: friendship, money, corruption, suspense, and revenge. Strong female characters drive the plot and you feel transported to the Adirondacks, New York, and Paris.

Thank you to W.W. Norton & Company and NetGalley for providing this ARC in exchange for my opinion.
