This is a new edition of a previously published book, The Lost Man.
Chris Gable, a once successful but now struggling B-list Hollywood action star, has let his life and career spiral out of control after the death of his young daughter and several years of unemployment. He's an alcoholic and an unfaithful husband on the verge of losing everything, and he’s praying for a second chance.
Enter Jack Webb, a humble, enigmatic man from Arizona who claims to be one of Chris’s biggest fans. A chance latenight encounter on a lonely canyon road, where Jack throws Chris a lifeline after a drunken car accident, brings these two men together. A bond forms. A friendship develops. At first, Jack seems a Godsend—a true pal, a sincere fan, maybe even a guardian angel. Chris's luck soon begins to turn around. Obstacles that kept him from finding work now miraculously (and mysteriously) disappear. His career and life start to rebound. But this good fortune comes with a price.

The Lost Man
Oh! What a story! Nerve wracking suspense that kept me reading. Liked Chris in spite of all the troubles. Better not say anymore and give away the ending. Well worth sitting up all night to finish.

In "The Lost Man," writer Josh Griffith masterfully spins a riveting tale of gripping drama, suspense, murder and betrayal. It all begins when lost man, Chris Gable, a struggling has been hollywood hearthrob meets a friendly yet mysterious fan named Jack Webb. Once they become friends Chris's life begins to improve dramatically and all the obstacles that have been holding him back, human or otherwise began to magically disappear. At first Chris is thrilled, but then he begins to realize that often when things appear to be too good to be true, they are. Not since Patricia Highsmith's Mr. Ripley has there been a more darkly twisted, fascinating and clever sociopath than Jack Webb. "The Lost Man" is a real page turner and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page.The Lost Man
