Review – The Lost Sheep

What does a father do when his daughter runs away? If you’re private investigator Colton Parker, you gather all your resources and go after her. Nothing he’s encountered before, however, can prepare him for what he will face as he races against time to find someone determined to disappear.

Those who’ve followed Dodson’s Colton Parker series won’t be disappointed in this latest offering. From the first book, Brandt Dodson has done what many authors are never able to achieve-create a character who lingers in the mind of the reader long after closing the book.

In Original Sin, The Root of All Evil, and Seventy Times Seven, readers are introduced to hard-boiled private investigator Colton Parker. As one who lives life on his own terms, Parker offers no apologies for his behavior while dealing with the consequences of it-the loss of his job with the FBI, the death of his wife, and the respect of his daughter.

In The Lost Sheep, with money in the bank for the first time, Colton Parker comes to realize that life is so much more than financial security. As his journey to find his daughter takes him through a world inhabited by drug dealers, prostitutes, and the occult, he comes face to face with the one thing he’s needed all along but refused to acknowledge-the love of God that calls out to His lost sheep.

Fans of suspense and crime dramas will find it hard to put this book down. Accolades go to Brandt Dodson for crafting one of the most gripping and suspenseful novels this reviewer has read in a long time. The only question left to ask is-what’s next, Brandt?
