Description
Sometimes solving a murder takes a village, a dog, and a little bit of magic.
Captain Eddie is a neurodivergent, landlocked pirate whose unconventional life takes an even stranger turn when he’s accused of murdering another transient. To prove his innocence, an unlikely posse comes together.
There’s Ash, a fed-up middle-aged lesbian still grieving the loss of her brother to a fatal overdose; Crow, a twenty-eight-year-old eccentric with lofty ideals and questionable personal hygiene; Reina, a rescuer of lost animals and Ash’s love interest; and Ida, a diminutive octogenarian who belongs to an ancient mystical order of sorceresses who communicate through sound, much like whales.
And then there’s Apollo, Captain Eddie’s loyal first mate, a pit bull who may prove to be one of the most dependable members of the team.
What begins as a local murder soon becomes a media circus when the victim is revealed to be the estranged sister of country-and-western legend Wanda Wiles. As Ash and her companions dig deeper, they uncover increasingly strange connections while racing to save Captain Eddie.
Set in the fictional oceanside town of Tres Ojos, Lost in Sound mixes mystery and social commentary with eccentric characters, queer relationships, neurodivergence, magic, homelessness, and a community determined to look after people who have fallen through the cracks.
