'Tightly paced and skillfully plotted, The Lost Night is a
remarkable debut.' Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author
of Luckiest Girl Alive 'Andrea Bartz casts a nostalgic, misty haze
over this story about a meticulous-minded woman playing detective
with her own life. If you've ever woken up unsure of what happened
the night before and then proceeded to do it again...oh my, this is
your book.' Caroline Kepnes, author of You and Providence What
really happened the night Edie died? Years later, her best friend
Lindsay will learn how unprepared she is for the truth. In 2009,
Edie had New York's social world in her thrall. Mercurial and
beguiling, she was the shining star of a group of recent graduates
living in a Brooklyn loft and treating New York like their
playground. When Edie's body was found near a suicide note at the
end of a long, drunken night, no one could believe it. Grief,
shock, and resentment scattered the group and brought the era to an
abrupt end. A decade later, Lindsay has come a long way from the
drug-addled world of Calhoun Lofts. She has devoted best friends, a
cozy apartment, and a thriving career as a magazine's head
fact-checker. But when a chance reunion leads Lindsay to discover
an unsettling video from that hazy night, she starts to wonder if
Edie was actually murdered-and, worse, if she herself was involved.
As she rifles through those months in 2009-combing through case
files, old technology, and her fractured memories-Lindsay is forced
to confront the demons of her own violent history to bring the
truth to light.
