In this action-packed thriller, Miami just got a lot more dangerous—especially for one innocent young woman running for her life. 
 

The city of Miami is Detective Tom Moon's back yard. He's always kept it local, attending University of Miami on a football scholarship, and, as a Miami PD officer, protecting the city's most vulnerable.

 

Now, as the new leader of an FBI task force called "Operation Guardian," it's his mission to combat international crime. Moon's investigative team discovers that the opportunistic "Blood Brothers"—Russian nationals Roman and Emile Rostoff—have evaded authorities while building a vast, powerful, and deadly crime syndicate throughout Europe and metropolitan Miami.

 

Moon played offense for U of M, but he's on the other side of the field this time. And as the Rostoffs zero in on a target dear to Tom, they're not playing by anyone's rules.

About the Author

James Patterson is the world's bestselling author and most trusted storyteller. He has created many enduring fictional characters and series, including Alex Cross, the Women's Murder Club, Michael Bennett, Maximum Ride, Middle School, and I Funny. Among his notable literary collaborations are The President Is Missing, with President Bill Clinton, and the Max Einstein series, produced in partnership with the Albert Einstein Estate.

​Patterson's writing career is characterized by a single mission: to prove that there is no such thing as a person who "doesn't like to read," only people who haven't found the right book. He's given over three million books to schoolkids and the military, donated more than seventy million dollars to support education, and endowed over five thousand college scholarships for teachers. The National Book Foundation recently presented Patterson with the Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community, and he is also the recipient of an Edgar Award and six Emmy Awards. He lives in Florida with his family.

James O. Born is an award-winning crime and science-fiction novelist as well as a career law-enforcement agent. A native Floridian, he still lives in the Sunshine State.

    I was always interested in writing. And I enjoyed it. From my Masters thesis on the effects of fitness on mood to long reports on money launderers, I appreciated the effort it took to write well.

    I doubted I could make a decent living as a writer, especially after having kids. I was an agent with US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). I loved it. The different assignments every day. Travel. The feeling of satisfaction and that you were helping the country. I never regretted going in to public service.

    About 15 years into my law enforcement career, I signed my first book contract with Putnam. Those five books try to capture the tension, excitement, humor and terror of police work. I purposely tried to keep the characters from being superheroes. Just men and women with a job to do. I was gratified by the critical reception the books received. One of the best parts of being a new author was that my editor, Neil Nyren, also the edited of my two favorite military writers, Tom Clancy and W.E.B. Griffin.

    Years ago I got a call from James Patterson. He wanted to know if I was interested in working with him. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity. Now I cowrite the Michael Bennett series as well as the occasional standalone. And I’ve never looked back.

Lost is a standalone that had the great character of Det Tom Moon. He is on an FBI task force that helps to bring down human trafficking cases. This one was none stop from the beginning and Moon is great. I love how he was written and honestly, he would be a good one to have a series around!

This Patterson-Born collaboration works well. I couldn't put it down once I started. Wow!

Detective Tom Moon is a likable cop, flaws and all, attached to an inter-agency crime taskforce in Miami. This fast-paced crime suspense focuses on a human trafficking scheme, linking Dutch smugglers and Russian mob forces in Amsterdam and Miami. Moving but honest.

Patterson's short-chapter format keeps this thriller focused and intense, while developing the human side of the believable characters and plotline. The storyline is edgy enough to keep things interesting, while following Patterson's successful crime formula. The book's storytelling works well the right balance of narration and dialogue with a first-person focus emphasizing Tom Moon's perspectives for about half of the storyline---the rest being third-person accounts of primary characters. I don't want to reveal too much. It's a great escape read!

This satisfying novel could be a standalone or the beginning to a solid series. I loved the Audible narration that enhanced character dialogues, making my reading experience even more enjoyable.

I usually don't care for author collaborations, but this short and fun read was not disappointing at all.

Have read many James Patterson collaborations. Well I liked his treatment of the main character in the first person, the book was okay.

The plot just didn't match the title. The story is interesting particularly the main character. It's also a fast read.

After reading it I'm still not sure who was intended to be lost. It does look like this is the first in a series and it may be that the main character and the main supporting character will have a good run of follow-on novels.

James Patterson, along with his co-author, has written another book that features a kind hearted, family-loving cop with an IQ higher than that of the entire police department combined. I love Tom Moon, especially his philosophical quotes, imposing linebacker’s physique, and his undying need to help innocent children trafficked into this country.

I can’t wait for book 2, and I would love to see this book adapted into a movie. I’m picturing a pumped up Ben Affleck, Channing Tatum, Tom Hardy, or Gerard Butler in the role.

This book introduces a great new character - Det. Tom Moon. Former college
football player with a law degree. Currently heading up a task force for the FBI
investigating international sex trafficking. While the most awful current crimes
appear to involve terrorism and drugs, international sex trafficking is right up there
with them in terms of human toll and damage. Some of the villains in this story are
colorful and sociopathic. Moon and his team are in great danger dealing with
these awful people, but they close out their case successfully. I hope James
Patterson will bring Tom Moon back again.

This is a thoroughly engaging and interesting novel, which gives you that one-more-page feeling every page. The story is simple enough, with a Miami cop on a task force tracking down some human smugglers, but the authors draw you in right away and keep you reading through a good storyline and interesting character development. This is one of the better Patterson books I've read in the last year or two, and I hope there's more coming like this!

Many collaborations of James Patterson nowadays are pretty juvenile and do no justice to his individual great books written earlier, This is just one of them. I unfortunately also happened to read the other collaboration with James O Born - The River Murders, which is also more of a pre-teen read. NO MORE JAMES O'BORN and James Patterson collaborations for me in the future - avoidable!

I don’t think Patterson did the major writing on this one. Doesn’t seem to be his style. More likely James Born. Now that I got that out of my system, I do recommend “Lost” for a good tale beginning to end.
