The Lost Boys: A Decker/Lazarus Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Faye Kellerman returns with an atmospheric, fast-paced mystery set in bucolic upstate New York, full of unexpected twists and turns that build to a shocking and surprising end—the latest thrilling entry in her New York Times bestseller Decker/Lazarus series.
When Bertram Lanz goes missing from a local diner near Greenbury, the entire community of the small upstate New York town volunteers to search the surrounding woods. Bertram had been on a field trip with the staff and fellow residents of the Loving Care Home when he vanished.
When no trace of the man is found, the disappearance quickly becomes an official missing persons case and is assigned to detectives Peter Decker and his partner Tyler McAdams. As their investigation deepens, the seasoned Decker becomes convinced that Bertram hadn't lost his way but must have left with someone he knew. Soon Decker discovers that Elsie Schulung, a recently fired nurse who had worked at the home, seemed to be especially interested in Bertram. But answers prove elusive when Elsie disappears and human blood is found in her kitchen.
These complications prove to be only the beginning. While combing the woods, searchers discover the remains of one of three young men who had vanished during a camping trip. And for Decker, personal problems are adding pressure as well. After a ten-year absence, the biological mother of Decker and Rina's foster son, Gabriel, has suddenly appeared in New York, children in tow, wreaking emotional havoc on the young man.
Juggling the personal and professional, a hot case and a cold case, Decker and McAdams race to find answers, sifting through cabinets of old files, a plethora of clues and evidence, and discouraging dead ends. As ongoing searches for Bertram and the campers' missing remains continue, the frustrated detectives begin to wonder if the woods will ever give up its dark secrets...

In bestseller Kellerman’s so-so 26th novel featuring married couple Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus (after 2018’s Walking Shadows), Decker, a former LAPD detective now with the police in the “sleepy little college town” of Greenbury, N.Y., has two cases to occupy him. First, 35-year-old Bertram Lanz, who’s cognitively disabled, has gone missing from a field trip arranged by his residential facility, and after extensive searches don’t locate him, Decker fears that Lanz could have been abducted. Second, the searchers locate human skeletal remains that may belong to one of three college students who vanished a decade earlier. Lazarus has little to do apart from prepare food and give advice to her family. Drama among the extended family pads the detecting, and banal prose (“Four decades of detective work had taught Decker a thing or two. One of the delights of Missing Persons cases was that they often had happy endings. But sometimes not”) is another minus. This one’s for longtime fans only.

An exhaustive search is launched by Detective Pete Decker of the Greenbury, NY, PD when Bertram Lanz, a man with cognitive disabilities, goes missing on a field trip from his care facility. While no sign of Lanz is found, the search uncovers a buried body discovered to be that of a male college student who disappeared on a camping trip 10 years earlier (along with two other students, also vanished). That cold case comes to the forefront as Decker and colleague Tyler McAdams seek to bring closure to three sets of parents. As Decker mulls over the two cases with his wife, Rina Lazarus, and with McAdams, a problem closer to home arises, when Decker's foster son, concert pianist Gabe Whitman, gets a plea for help from the biological mother he tries to avoid. This twenty-sixth entry in the Decker-Lazarus series will be embraced by fans for its emphasis on the lead characters and the relationship between them, as the couple's future takes a turn, and a cliff-hanger ending guarantees anticipation for their next outing.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
