THE LOST AND THE FOUND

Cat Clarke

A family drama/psychological suspense about a child that goes missing and returns 13 years later.
LOST
When six-year-old Laurel Logan was abducted, the only witness was her younger sister. Faith’s childhood was dominated by Laurel’s disappearance – from her parents’ broken marriage and the constant media attention to dealing with so-called friends who only ever wanted to talk about her sister.

FOUND
Thirteen years later, a young woman is found in the garden of the Logans’ old house, disorientated and clutching the teddy bear Laurel was last seen with. Laurel is home at last, safe and sound. Faith always dreamed of getting her sister back, without ever truly believing it would happen. But a disturbing series of events leaves Faith increasingly isolated and paranoid, and before long she begins to wonder if everything that’s lost can be found again.

Quercus are putting a lot behind Cat – redesigning the look of her jackets with strong psychological suspense focus. US rights were recently sold to Crown at auction.

Cat Clarke was born in Zambia and brought up in Edinburgh and Yorkshire, which has given her an accent that tends to confuse people. Cat has written non-fiction books about exciting things like cowboys, sharks and pirates, and now writes Young Adult novels. Entangled, won the 2012 Redbridge Teenage Book Award and was longlisted for the 2012 Branford Boase Award.
