In Andrew Pyper's debut novel, "Lost Girls," criminal defense lawyer Bartholomew Christian Crane, aged 33, takes on his first murder trial. Two 14-year-old girls are presumed dead at the bottom of a lake near a northern town, and their English teacher is the prime suspect, despite scant evidence. As Barth prepares for the trial, he experiences dreams that forge a mysterious connection to the missing girls and a ghostly presence haunting the lake. This supernatural link adds a chilling dimension to the legal battle, challenging Barth's skepticism about the existence of lies.
