In this third novel by the acclaimed bestselling author of 'Wicked' and 'Confessions Of An Ugly Stepsister', famed children's book author Winifred Rudge travels to London to research a book about a woman who is being haunted by Jack the Ripper.
Upon her arrival she finds her step-cousin John Comestor has mysteriously disappeared, and a ghostly presence has taken over his apartment in the 19th century townhouse once owned by Winnie's great-great-grandfather. Is it the ghost of the grandfather, who family legend claims was Charles Dickens' childhood inspiration for Ebeneezer Scrooge? Or a spirit from a more ancient age?
In the spirit of AS Byatt's 'Possession' and touching on 'A Christmas Carol', 'Peter Pan' and the legend of Jack the Ripper, 'Lost' creates an amazingly rich fictional world.
