Description
An “ingenious, entertaining” novel about connection and competition from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Dogs of Babel (Elinor Lipman, The Boston Globe). What do a suburban mom, her troubled daughter, divorced brothers, former child stars, born-again Christians, and young millionaires have in common? They have all been selected to compete on Lost and Found, a daring new reality-adventure show. In teams of two, they will race across the globe—from Egypt to England, Japan to Sweden—to battle for a million-dollar prize. They must decipher encrypted clues, recover mysterious artifacts, and outwit their opponents to stay in play. Yet what started as a lark turns deadly serious as the number of players is whittled down, temptations beckon, and the bonds between partners strain and unravel. The question now is not only who will capture the final prize, but at what cost. “Wonderful.” —Jodi Picoult "An entertaining, unexpectedly wise novel.” —Time “Will keep readers on the edge of their seats . . . It may be the most emotionally satisfying novel of the season.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
