Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
David Raker is back with another heart-pounding and tense missing persons case.
Ten seconds before the crash, Cate and Aiden Gascoigne are recorded on CCTV. The couple are laughing—happy, untroubled.
Then their car plunges into a ninety-foot ravine.
The impact should kill them. And if that doesn't, the fire will. Within seconds, the vehicle is an inferno—with the Gascoignes trapped inside.
But when fire crews arrive at the scene, they find something impossible.
The vehicle is empty.
Cate and Aiden have vanished.
Now only missing persons investigator David Raker can solve the mystery....

The David Raker novels never fail to entertain me and would thoroughly recommend to anyone who enjoys a well written thriller.

Clever story with a few twists and turns.
The way this story unfolded from the start drew me into the mystery. It jumps around over a period of 30 years but despite this it is easy to follow. I liked the pace and the way it is read.

Another Brilliant Raker Book
This was just as good as all the other Raker books, with twists and turns. I couldn’t put it down!

Another smasher in the Raker series
David Raker are is really now just like an old friend: the reader is especially good at transmitting a sympathetic character he sounds young though with a middle-aged daughter I’m not sure- but anyway if he said he’s charismatic and handsome so I can imagine that .
The story as usual is complicated with many twists and turns big surprises throughout; at the end there is a cliffhanger of sorts - can’t wait for the next instalment. Thanks Tim!

Another Winner
I have read all the David Raker books and they have all been excellent. The storyline, the characters, everything about these books are just first rate. Once you start reading it’s difficult to put down. I have just read the latest J K Rowling Strike novel and what a contrast. This book was like a breath of fresh air in contrast to Rowlings long winded, plodding efforts. Tim Weaver is a true master of his craft.

Great suspense. Great plot and storyline. Had me hooked till the last page. Almost had to do an emergency stop while listening to it in my car!
