All I can say is WOW. LONG TIME LOST had so many different twist and turns. I was shocked at the ending, not what I had expected. Chris Ewan, you had me going in so many different directions. Every time I thought I had this one figured out, no, you throw in another twist. Sometimes I hate the main character Nick, what he went through, then I learned to love him.
If there is one comment I can make is that I would like to see a sequel to this book. Would like to find out if Nick and Kate made it. Did he reconnect with his daughter? I got to say LONG TIME LOST is great, one of the better thriller I have read in a long time. Buy it and enjoy.

triggers a chain of events with devastating consequences for
everyone he protects. Kateβand now Nickβare under attack by

wants, even if it means tearing Nickβs entire network apartβ¦
Chris Ewan's Long Time Lost is a fast-paced
stand-alone thriller that The Independent (UK) calls
"masterful...Fellow novelist Ann Cleeves' description of
[Chris Ewan] as a 'master storyteller' pretty well hits the
nail on the head."
