"Lost" is a novel by Gregory Maguire. Winifred Rudge, a writer, travels to London to visit a distant cousin, and to research a new novel about a woman haunted by the ghost of Jack the Ripper. When she arrives, she discovers that her cousin has vanished, the apartment is being renovated, and strange sounds are coming from the chimney. It seems the apartment is now haunted by a strange supernatural presence.

Although the plot of the novel revolves around Winifred trying to chase down the ghost in her cousin's apartment, along the way a deep mystery that exists between Winifried and her cousin, John Comestor, is revealed. While trying to solve the mystery Winifried is forced to face the ghosts of her own past and examine her choices and motivations.
