A blistering crime novel of the opioid epidemic--and its cops, villains, and victims--written by a twenty-five-year veteran of the DEA.

Angel, Kentucky-

Just another one of America's forgotten places, where opportunities vanished long ago, and the opioid crisis has reached a fever pitch.

When this small town is rocked by the vicious killing of an entire infamous local crime family, the bloody aftermath

brings together three people already struggling

with Angel's drug epidemic- Trey, a young medic-in-training with secrets to hide; Special Agent Casey Alexander, a DEA agent who won't let the local law or small-town way of doing things stand in her way; and Paul Mayfield, a former police chief who's had to watch his

own young wife succumb to addiction.

Over the course of twenty-four hours, loyalties are tested, the corrupt are exposed, and the horrible truth

of the largest drug operation in the region is revealed.

And though

Angel will never be the same again,

a lucky few may still find hope.

Reviews for Lost River

"""Scott, a 25-year veteran of the DEA, writes with authority about the drug crisis. Don Winslow fans won’t want to miss this wrenching thriller.""—Publishers Weekly “This grim, gritty novel captures the feeling of hopelessness that the opioid epidemic brings… Well-told but raw as an open wound and not for the squeamish.”—Kirkus Reviews “Scott pushes his narrative to its wild conclusion in rich, organic prose.”—Booklist"
