Long Lost starts with Myron Bolitar getting a mysterious phone call from a long lost ex-lover, Terese. She asks him to come to Paris and at first he thinks it's crazy, but after he finds out his current girlfriend is taking off to her parents house down south and he gets into a rumble with her son's basketball coach, he decides to go for it and meet Terese in France. He's got nothing left to lose in the states.
He arrives in Paris, and as soon as he leaves the plane he senses trouble. He's detained by the French police for questioning, but he's at a loss as to what they're talking about. His ex-lover's husband was murdered?? She had a husband?! He had no idea. The story unfolds from there as the two lovers reunite. Toss in a mysterious blond girl and umbilical cord blood for plot twists and you have a one-of-a-kind plot.
The characters are intriguing without being boring. I liked Myron's friend who reminded me of Better Call Saul from Breaking Bad. I thought my eyelids would go south when I read the name "Mohammad Matar", It didn't- the story kept it's pace and there was never a dull moment.
