The Lost Are Found

What if people who are long dead started reappearing all over the world just as they were when they left?  That is the premise of award winning poet Jason Mott's debut novel, The Returned.  We enter the small time lives of Harold and Lucille as they find out their 8 year old son who died in 1966 has come back from the afterlife.  Although Lucille is religious and accepts their son while Harold is skeptical and keeps a distance, they present a united front against Agent Bellamy of the International Bureau of the Returned.  Tensions flare as a militia known as the True Living Movement attempts to take the law into their own hands by sending the Returned back into the graves they came from.  As the drama plays out, the sense that things aren't going to end well only increases. Explore a Twilight Zone like parallel universe in this remarkable imaginative new novel.
