The Lost Coast by Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman is a contemporary thriller! The main character is Clay Edison, a PI who used to work in the law. Clay’s strongest characteristics are his doggedness and persistence. Luckily he is also courageous and intelligent.
The novel focuses on Clay trying to figure out what happened to missing money from a client’s grandmother’s estate. As he continues to move forward other storylines add into the equation. Two more people seem to have some connection to the case. There seems to be a town in the midst of nowhere in California. People have been paying for the land, then the maintenance, and other “expenses” for years. Money being pretty much stolen from the elderly. Clay is determined to find the answers.
Jesse Kellerman is Jonathan’s son. When they write together, the main character is Clay. The books are well written. They build up the suspense until you realize there is no easy solution until that last twist or two.
The Lost Coast reminds me of the gist of city slickers being stuck in the backcountry, but the storyline is more sophisticated. The Lost Coast by Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman is a good read!
