Lost Girl is a 2015 pre-apocalyptic novel by British author Adam Nevill.[1] The book was published in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2015 through Pan Macmillan.
Of the novel's inspiration, Nevill stated that it came from "two great personal terrors: my anxiety about my daughter’s safety in almost every way a parent can imagine; and my ever growing anxiety about the consequences of runaway climate change twinned with overpopulation, but for our near future and not the future of distant generations."[2]
The book is set in 2053 in a world that has been decimated by severe climate change, pandemics, and rising crime and violence. It follows a man whose four-year-old daughter was kidnapped two years ago. The authorities are of no help because they must deal with all of the extreme chaos, so he must go out on his own to find out what happened to his daughter and rescue her from whatever her kidnappers subjected her to.
