In Book One of the Lost & Found Department Series, we learned how four-year-old Nathan Jameson was abandoned by his father at a store's lost-and-found. Thirty years later, Nathan owns the Lost & Found Bookstore in Southern New Jersey and works closely with his store manager, Heather Sandberg. In Book One, Nathan and Heather took on a case that involved Russian spies, secret identities, a plan for a revenge killing of their client, and a corrupt CIA agent.

​

In Book Two of The Lost & Found Department series, Nathan Jameson and Heather Sandberg, who co-own Lost & Found Investigations, take on separate cases for the first time. Heather is hired by Jersey Mike’d, a popular South Jersey DJ on 101.4, WLKW, a talk news format. Jersey Mike’d is running for the Republican nomination to be New Jersey's governor. He wants Heather to find his ex-wife because he’s afraid she will reveal specific facts about him that would hurt his chances in the election.

​

Nathan is hired by a woman who lives in the Birches section of Washington Township. A $50,000 heirloom ring is missing from her closet safe. She doesn’t want the police involved. She wants Nathan to find it and return it. The woman suspects her husband has stolen it to pay off gambling debts.

​

As Nathan investigates, he finds that his client’s 20-year-old son is planning to buy Fentanyl in Philadelphia and then sell it in his town; his client's 18-year-old daughter is posting videos of herself on a porn site; and his client is having multiple affairs – one with her boss at a medical device company, and the other with a cardiologist.

​

After there is a murder, Nathan and Heather discover that their cases are connected, and that Nathan’s secret past is jeopardizing his life and those closest to him.
