Lost

FBI agent Carl Hansen has seen too much — too many horrors, too many things no one should believe exist. All he wants is peace. Instead, he's thrown headfirst into chaos. A devastating terrorist attack. The sudden loss of a trusted colleague. A serial killer who strikes without pattern or mercy. And a sharp-eyed new boss who sees right through Carl's carefully guarded walls. As the world unravels around him, Carl finds himself walking alongside people he never expected to care about — people willing to carry a fragile light into the heart of the dark. But in a world of living nightmares, can even the smallest flame survive… or will Carl's last hope be snuffed out like all the others before it? The Field Researcher Files is a gripping blend of cosmic horror, crime, urban fantasy, and emotional drama. Each standalone book explores a different facet of human resilience, asking: What makes us human — and what will we risk to protect what matters most? Praise for Lost: "Lost by A.E. Hellstorm is one of the best books in its genre I've read in a long time. Whether you enjoy crime, thrillers, or horror, this book delivers. Expertly weaving multiple genres into an intricate, emotionally charged plot, Lost is a tense, unforgettable read." — Readers' Favorite
