Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Best selling author David Johnson returns with a blockbuster sequel to RANSOM’S LAW and Prequel to TUCKER’S WAY. ~ ~ ~ Since the end of WWI, the Ransom family have endured more than their fair share of heartbreak and challenge. Roscoe and Willow have fought hard to build a new family, but life is about to become even harder.

Junior Ransom gets lost while exploring a cave and fears he will die there. As Roscoe and Willow become frantic over his disappearance, their new child, Emily suddenly falls gravely ill. When Roscoe and the townsmen begin searching for Junior, tension and danger is heightened by the appearance of a fierce-looking vagrant, his wife, and his man-sized daughter, Tucker. Willow senses a threatening evil in the man and worries what malevolence he’s done—and to whom.

At the point Junior gives up hope of being found, a mentally-limited man named Solomon rescues him and takes him to his remote house where there are freshly dug graves in the back yard. Then Tucker, who has run away, shows up and reveals to Junior that her father murdered Solomon’s parents.

Roscoe and Willow’s hearts waver between hope and despair and end up turning on each other in anger, which shreds the fabric of their marriage. Roscoe returns to his old ways of drinking, leaving Willow unprotected from the coming evil. Roscoe and Willow have braved many storms together but none like they face in RANSOM LOST.

Will their love for each other be strong enough to survive? Johnson weaves together the pieces of this story into a heart-pounding drama that will make RANSOM LOST impossible to put down until the cataclysmic ending.

good story, but...

I love how the Ransom and the Tucker series blend. I do not like the expressionless electronic voice narrating. it is hard to get a read on individual characters, and the most dramatic events sound blase
