For Game, this is the case of a lifetime. He’s just not sure his trademark rules will work in his favor. And he’s not sure he wants them to.

Trafford’s smart, nuanced and highly entertaining new legal thriller…Little Boy Lost is a thoughtful look at the American legal and political systems and how they serve, or increasingly fail, the public. Alive with fascinating details of the implementation of the law, it provides an even-handed look at all sides…Above all, it is a fine piece of entertainment!” —Criminal Element “J.D. Trafford does for St. Louis what author Michael Harvey does for Chicago. Both writers make the Midwest cities, where their crime/mysteries are set, come to life with brilliant detail. Trafford shines his literary light on St. Louis in Little Boy Lost, a fast-paced paperback liberally spiced with recognizable places in the city—restaurants, bars, suburbs, neighborhoods and parks are described with the expertise of a local, which Trafford once was. This, combined with a crackerjack narrative, make the mystery a must read.” —The Missourian “Little Boy Lost is an exciting and thoughtful read. Trafford’s writing style is brisk and no-nonsense with a dash of introspection and a lot of keen observations…” —Bookreporter “J.D. Trafford has penned a satisfying mystery with social justice at its heart.” —The Gazette “A tense and punchy legal thriller with a great lead, a visceral setting, and a compelling plot.” —Crime Thriller Hound “[J.D.
