Owenston, Kentucky was supposed to be the safe place.

After leaving the FBI behind, Mark Collins has settled into life as county sheriff, husband to Jess, and daddy to the little girl who already has him wrapped around her finger. With a baby on the way, a growing faith, and a close-knit family surrounding him, Mark’s life finally feels rooted.

Then a string of petty thefts unsettles the quiet town.

At first, the missing items seem almost harmless: food, batteries, soap, a blanket. But when a welfare check turns into a murder investigation, Mark realizes the thefts may not be the work of criminals at all, but two frightened boys trying to survive after witnessing something no child should ever see.

As Mark works to uncover the truth, a dangerous stranger arrives in Owenston, and the case begins reaching closer to home than anyone expected. With Jess’s instincts warning of a threat and two vulnerable children caught in the middle, Mark must rely on his training, his community, and the faith that has reshaped his life.

Because this time, justice is not the only thing at stake.

So is the family they are all trying to protect.

The Lost and Found is a Christian suspense novel about faith under pressure, found family, small-town secrets, and the healing power of being loved back to life.
