Casey Duncan is a homicide detective with a secret: when she
was in college, she killed a man. She was never caught, but
he was the grandson of a mobster and she knows that someday
this crime will catch up to her. Casey's best friend, Diana,
is on the run from a violent, abusive ex-husband. When
Diana's husband finds her, and Casey herself is attacked
shortly after, Casey knows it's time for the two of them to
disappear again. Diana has heard of a town made for
people like her, a town that takes in people on the run who
want to shed their old lives. You must apply to live in
Rockton and if you're accepted, it means walking away
entirely from your old life, and living off the grid in the
wilds of Canada: no cell phones, no Internet, no mail, no
computers, very little electricity, and no way of getting in
or out without the town council's approval. As a murderer,
Casey isn't a good candidate, but she has something they
want: She's a homicide detective, and Rockton has just had
its first real murder. She and Diana are in. However, soon
after arriving, Casey realizes that the identity of a
murderer isn't the only secret Rockton is hiding—in fact,
she starts to wonder if she and Diana might be in even more
danger in Rockton than they were in their old
lives. An edgy, gripping crime novel from bestselling
urban fantasy writer Kelley Armstrong, City of the
Lost boldly announces a major new player in the crime
fiction world.
