From the Back Cover
"The Lost Night is enthralling, a skillfully narrated story that begins as a tale of detection but becomes something more."
—The New York Times
"No novel based on Ms. Howard’s life, no matter how skillfully crafted, could have been as believable as The Lost Night. It is a quintessentially American narrative of self-creation and redemption, a postmodern Gatsby with a hard-earned, doubt-tinged happy ending. I don’t know when I’ve read a better first book."
—The Wall Street Journal
"Powerful."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"The Lost Night illuminates a bond between a father and a daughter that neither time nor death can undo."
—The Washington Post Book World

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. ix, 272 pages; 22 cm. PRESENTATION COPY. Signed by the author, with a personalized inscription. Stated First Printing, July 2005. Fine DJ. *** "A deeply moving story of one woman's search for truth and meaning in the aftermath of her father's unsolved murder. On the night of June 22, 1986, ten-year-old Rachel Howard woke to a disturbing sight: pools of blood on the hallway carpet and a glimpse of her father clutching his stabbed throat. Stan Howard died minutes later, and his bizarre small-town murder was never solved. Rachel's father was thirty-two, a laid-back, handsome man who loved the music of Rod Stewart and had no known enemies. Faced with her family's shock, Rachel decided she would cope the only way she knew how: By keeping silent and trying to pretend the murder had never happened. Now, seventeen years later and recently engaged, Rachel attempts to uncover for herself what happened that night. Finally reconnecting with her father's family, she sorts through her relatives' memories of his death and presses the less-than-helpful detectives. Still bewildered, she seeks the only other two people present at the murder: her former stepmother and stepbrother, neither of whom she has seen since her father's funeral. The result is a tender portrait of a father and a keen investigation of memory, truth, and how a family moves on from a tragedy for which they may never find answers. / Rachel Howard currently covers dance and writes book reviews for the San Francisco Chronicle. She has also written for The Village Voice, The San Francisco Examiner, The Orange County Register, The Santa Barbara Independent, and Dance Magazine." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. SIGNED. Collectible.
