Jonah Colley is a firearms officer with the Metropolitan Police. Ten years ago, his four-year-old son Theo disappeared while Colley had fallen asleep in a park. The boy was never found.

In The Lost (2021), Colley is called to a warehouse siege where a young woman is being held captive. What starts as a straightforward armed response turns into something far more personal when connections emerge to other missing people — and possibly to Theo. Simon Beckett signed a two-book deal for this series, moving from forensic anthropology to armed policing while keeping his focus on characters defined by loss.
