Get Lost

“The novel is rife with action and quick-witted humor from smooth-talking Dix and cynical Lila. It’s a hoot.”

"Big on humor and heart, Get Lost slayed me."—Elliot Ackerman, author of Sheepdogs

"Get Lost is perfect fun and an excellent read. Each twist and turn is not only delightful, but excitingly unexpected. The truly puzzling plot will keep you turning the pages, and Justin Halpern's unique voice makes this an original in the mystery genre."—Quinta Brunson, Emmy-winning actress, creator, executive producer, and co-writer of Abbott Elementary, and author of She Memes Well

"Get Lost is like a Carl Hiaasen novel if he was from the less glamorous outskirts of Southern California. It's an outrageously seedy crime tale, throwing Russians, corrupt local politicians, a missing mom and clueless cops together into a well-plotted satire. The result somehow manages to be both a page-turner and a true father-daughter character piece. I'm glad John 'Dix' Dixon isn't my dad, but I'd kill to have a beer with him—he's an absolute original. Most importantly, with crackling dialogue in the face of darkly hilarious adventures, Get Lost is flat-out funny. And fun. What a fun read."—Bill Lawrence, Emmy-winning creator of Scrubs and executive producer of Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Bad Monkey

"Get Lost pulses with dark humor and danger, while his mystery pulls you in deeper with every turn. It's the big laughs, though, that make this book absolutely unmissable."—Paul Scheer, author of Joyful Recollections of Trauma

"Justin Halpern does for California's Central Valley what Carl Hiaasen did for Miami and ElmoreLeonard did for Detroit. His characters are wonderfully insane and hilarious, and I feel like know them personally. This book is like a magic trick—every page is both funny andpropulsive, preposterous and yet utterly real. Its only flaw is that it had to end."—Mike Schur, Emmy-winning co-creator of Parks and Recreation and New York Times bestselling author of How To Be Perfect

"What a delightfully weird, perfectly funny, unexpected mystery of a book this is. Every time you think you know where something is headed—be it a joke, or a conversation between two characters, or, most critically, a plot point—Justin Halpern places a bag over your head, spins you in a circle several times, and then shoves you in a completely different direction."—Shea Serrano, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Rap Year Book

"For a long time, Justin Halpern has been one of the funniest TV writers I know, but now I know him to be one of the best new novelists of our time. Get Lost is funny, propulsive, and kept me completely guessing where the story was going next, but always pleasantly surprised with the result. It's an incredible debut and I can't wait for everyone else to love it as much as I did."—Jen Statsky, Emmy-winning co-creator and co-showrunner of Hacks

“Read this unless you’re allergic to laughing.”—Kristen Bell

“Justin Halpern tosses lightning bolts of laughter out of his pocket like he is shooting dice in a back alley.
