Book overview

They were held in brutal captivity--and managed to make it out alive.
This is their story.

The Lost Girls are Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus--three innocent young women who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly molested and beaten in a Cleveland home basement for over a decade by a depraved man named Ariel Castro. Their incredible escape, in May 2013, made headlines all over the world.

"Absorbing...a page-turning, detailed overview of this remarkable story."
--Kirkus Reviews


In this up-close-and-personal account--including exclusive interviews with Castro's family members, secret girlfriend, neighbors, and others--veteran investigative journalist John Glatt reveals what it was like as Michelle, Amanda, and Gina waited, bound and chained, to be found. Shocking and heartbreaking, The Lost Girls is a true-crime tale that no reader will soon forget.

"John Glatt is one of the finest true crime craftsmen writing today."
--Howard Goldberg, VH1.com
