Introducing David Raker, who promises Cate and Aiden's parents that he will get to the bottom of it. However, he has no idea how dangerous, twisted and macabre this case will become. Tim Weaver is a master of the crime genre. You'll be gripped by the intricate plotting and whiplash- inducing twists. I couldn't look away' GILLY MACMILLAN With the growing popularity of Tim’s novels and given that he now writes full time, he is poised for great success. A case in point, Fall from Grace was the second biggest selling book in England the week in which it was released and Tim’s works has been nominated for a National Book Award and for the Crime Writer’s Association Dagger.

All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate.
The complex character throughout the series, David Raker, is charged with the responsibility of investigating the case. Just like Tim, David Raker is a former journalist. We learn that he left his job to nurse his ailing wife, who finally dies. David is reluctant to take the task of investigating Alex Towne’s disappearance, but remembering the loss of his own, he finally agrees, and this signifies the beginning of trouble for him. In summary, the sinuous plot takes us through toe-curling and fist clenching violence scenes and we feel David Raker go through the normal vicissitudes of life as he grows. The mystery and suspense in the entire novel is awesome. Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! There’s anther dogged missing persons investigator as protagonist in Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner.

When Rebekah Murphy was three, her mother walked out and never returned. Nearly four decades on, Fiona Murphy is still missing. Until a letter arrives in the post, claiming to be from Fiona. They’re obviously dead – but when firefighters arrive at the scene the car is empty, the Gascoignes nowhere to be found. How did that happen and where are they? Taken on by Cate’s grieving family, these are two questions that Raker is determined to answer, but as his investigation progresses, more and more questions are about to cloud the issue further. Could this be the case that finally defeats this master of missing persons investigations?

The impact should kill them. And if the impact doesn’t, the fire will: seconds after it comes to rest, the Land Rover bursts into flames. By the time the emergency services arrive, it’s an inferno. Fans of this series know Raker to be a dogged and intuitive investigator, who will single-mindedly burrow away at the case in hand until he begins to find answers, but this time he hits dead end after dead end. Wherever the Gascoignes went, someone out there doesn’t want them found. And then there’s the mystery of the two witnesses to the crash, who both gave suspiciously word perfect descriptions of what happened, and seem to have unusual changes of character afterwards. As the death toll rises, Raker flounders in the dark. Tim Weaver is an English novelist born in 1977 in Bath, England. He is a former student of Norton Hill School.
