Lost Girl

"...Compelling..."- KirkusIt's the late 1950s - that time when a new era was struggling to be born - and Detroit is still the fabled Motor City, full of vitality, swagger, and vivid characters. A young reporter is learning his craft and the facts of life. A brutal murder turns out to be both more and less than it seems, and a handicapped boy becomes a pawn in covering up the truth. A gifted politician launches what will surely be a national career. A beautiful young woman is torn between her love and the aphrodisiac of power. The story probes the city's corrupt underside, from Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters and their gangland allies to the "respectable" men who deal with them under the table. In the end, the tangle of interlaced schemes erupts into national news.
