Product Information
New York Times Bestseller - Now a Netflix Film "Rich, tragic. . . monumental. . . true-crime reporting at its best."-- Washington Post The bestselling account of the lives of five young women whose fates converged in the perplexing case of the Long Island Serial Killer--with a new epilogue by the author. One late spring evening in 2010, Shannan Gilbert--after running through the oceanfront community of Oak Beach screaming for her life--went missing. No one who had heard of her disappearance thought much about what had happened to the twenty-four-year-old: she was a Craigslist escort who had been fleeing a scene--of what, no one could be sure. The Suffolk County police, too, seemed to have paid little attention--until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery near remote Gilgo Beach on Long Island turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them Shannan's. There was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, last seen at Penn Station in Manhattan three years earlier, and Melissa Barthelemy, last seen in the Bronx in 2009. There was Megan Waterman, last seen leaving a hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, just a month after Shannon's disappearance in 2010, and Amber Lynn Costello, last seen leaving a house in West Babylon a few months later that same year. Like Shannan, all four women were petite, in their twenties, and had come from out of town to work as escorts, and they all had advertised on Craigslist and its competitor, Backpage. Long considered "one of the best true-crime books of all time" ( Time), Lost Girls is a portrait of unsolved murders in an idyllic part of America, of the underside of the Internet, and of the secrets we keep without admitting to ourselves that we keep them. This edition includes an epilogue that speaks to developments in the case, including the shocking fate of Mari Gilbert, Shannan's mother, for whom this case became the crusade of a lifetime.

Reviews
Beautifully and provocatively written.... [Lost Girls] will make all but the hardest-hearted empathetic. Add a baffling whodunit that remains, as the subtitle indicates, unsolved, and you have a captivating true crime narrative that's sure to win new converts and please longtime fans of the genre., Kolker indulges in zero preaching and very little sociology; his is the lens of a classic police reporter. And often in Lost Girls, the facts are eloquent in themselves., Readers expecting an SVU-style true-crime story will be disappointed. But through detailed profiles of the victims themselves, Kolker has written a more provocative book--a book that is as much about class and economic pressures as it is about sex work and murder., Through extensive interviews with the victims' families and friends, Kolker creates compassionate portraits of the murdered young women, and uncovers the forces that drove them from their respective home towns into risky, but lucrative, careers as prostitutes in a digital age., Lost Girls is a marvelous book, taking a complicated, trying story and making it compulsively readable. Kolker is an outstanding reporter and a sensitive narrator who does justice to a horrible tragedy by paying exactly the kind of attention that no one else did, or would., The absence of the killer is the making of this book, a constraint that allows it to become extraordinary...humane and imaginative...[Kolker] shows the dented magnificence and universal sorrow within ordinary lives, and makes you realize how much more they are worth., Some true crime books are exploitative...others grasp at serious literature. Robert Kolker's new book falls into the latter category., Immensely evocative...we are left with is a visceral understanding of the lives of the victims and why they should have mattered more., Meticulously reported and beautifully written, Robert Kolker's Lost Girls is a haunting and powerful crime story that gives voice to those who can no longer be heard. It is a story that you will not be able to forget., Robert Kolker unflinchingly probes the 21st-century innovations that facilitated these crimes... ...An important examination of the socioeconomic and cultural forces that can shape a woman's entry into prostitution., Kolker is a careful writer and researcher...[he paints] a far more nuanced picture of each young woman than any screaming headline could., Riveting and often heartbreaking...a lashing critique of how society, and the police, let these young women down.
