Dancing with the Lost is a gripping story of trauma, justice, and survival-where every confession unlocks the secrets of the past and the possibility of redemption.
1967 - 1990 - Queens, New York
A therapist is confronted with the case of a lifetime when she is asked to counsel an accused murderer. She alone knows the truth: The murderer is connected to the gang responsible for the deaths of her family and friends, twenty-three years ago...when she was only a child.
Dancing with the Lost weaves together personal memoir, psychological drama, and procedural mystery as the therapist finds herself wandering the blurred line between justice and revenge. Her professional detachment unravels as she is pulled deeper into her patient's memories and confessions: these offer keys to long-locked doors in her own past. Each session is a step closer to truths she has both dreaded and desperately needed. As the weight of the unsolved and the unresolved grows heavier, she sees a way out...but only if she can achieve justice for the departed and remember the lessons taught to her so long ago about how to dance with the lost.
Review :
Reviews"Much to the delight of his devoted readers, Rostron plunges once more into the vibrant world of 1960s music and culture-this time through the eyes of a determined woman on a ceaseless quest for justice... or perhaps revenge... for crimes that cast a long shadow two decades earlier. This masterful stand-alone addition to the Cambria Series captivates from start to finish." ONLINE BOOK REVIEW
"This novel beautifully dances on the precipice of despair and hope, inviting readers to accompany Maggie as she seeks not only justice but also a path to healing. For die-hard Rostron fans, there are nostalgic flashbacks to Bracko, Johnny, and the entire ensemble from previous books, enhancing the reading experience." BOOK REVIEW MONTHLY
"Remarkably, this single narrative weaves a powerful tapestry that combines music, crime, history, travel, nostalgia, law, and revenge, ultimately leading to a profound search for redemption." BOOK LOVERS Online
"What truly distinguishes Dancing with the Lost is its emotional honesty. The characters are achingly real...scarred, flawed, and earnestly searching for meaning and connection." MAC the Knife Reviews
