Lost

In Lost by Nicole Morris, Australia’s best-known missing persons advocate turns her investigative eye to long-term disappearances that still haunt families and communities. This is true crime with real compassion: meticulous reporting, clear-eyed questions, and a deep respect for the people left behind.

Morris revisits cold cases across Australia, from a backpacker who vanishes on the NSW mid north coast to a frightened 000 call that ends on a lonely highway. She follows the traces others missed—eyewitnesses never properly interviewed, old letters and police files, and testimonies from partners, parents, searchers and former teenage runaways—building a fuller picture of how and why people disappear.

Perfect for readers who love Australian true crime, cold cases, investigative journalism, and books that centre victims and families rather than sensationalism.
