Synopsis

They were held in brutal captivity―and managed to make it out alive.
This is their story.

The Lost Girls are Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus―three innocent young women who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly molested and beaten in a Cleveland home basement for over a decade by a depraved man named Ariel Castro. Their incredible escape, in May 2013, made headlines all over the world.

“Absorbing...a page-turning, detailed overview of this remarkable story.”
―Kirkus Reviews

In this up-close-and-personal account―including exclusive interviews with Castro’s family members, secret girlfriend, neighbors, and others―veteran investigative journalist John Glatt reveals what it was like as Michelle, Amanda, and Gina waited, bound and chained, to be found. Shocking and heartbreaking, The Lost Girls is a true-crime tale that no reader will soon forget.

“John Glatt is one of the finest true crime craftsmen writing today.”

Review:

"The murder case John Glatt recounts in lurid detail is too bizarre for a work of fiction. . . . a true crime story harking back to the fabled era when stars like Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra entertained the crowds at the front of the house while mobsters ran the show behind the scenes." --"New York Times Book Review "on "Prince of Paradise
""John Glatt is one of the finest true crime craftsmen writing today," - Howard Goldberg, VH1.com
"Veteran crime scribe Glatt gives us all the atmosphere, characters and facts to make an engrossing thriller." --"New York Post" (required reading section)""on "Prince of Paradise"
