The Last Goodbye




Two disappearances. Two families. One secret. Missing persons investigator David Raker returns to crack a cold case wide open.

A father and his son are queuing for the ghost house at the country's newest theme park. CCTV cameras record them entering - but they never exit. No one can explain how they vanished.

When she was five, Rebekah Murphy's mother suddenly walked out and never came back. Now, Rebekah asks missing persons investigator David Raker to find out what happened.

The two disappearances - decades apart - seem unrelated. But as Raker digs deeper, he unravels an elaborate history of lies binding the cases together. Worse, there's someone determined to make sure the truth never comes out...

CHRIS WHITAKER

Tim Weaver is a master of the crime genre. His David Raker novels, including the latest instalment, The Last Goodbye, stand out from the rest. You'll be addicted from the hook at the outset, gripped by the intricate plotting and whiplash-inducing twists but what will keep you riveted to the final page is their intelligent, unflinching examination of the darker side of humanity and the damage it can cause us all. I couldn't look away.

GILLY MACMILLAN

The master of the clever, unpredictable plots is back with his best book yet! I'm a huge fan of the David Raker series and The Last Goodbye floored me with its perfectly executed twists and tense, original premise. With one of the most sinister fictional villains I've come across this had me on the edge of my seat. Superb!

CLAIRE DOUGLAS

Haunting, gripping, fast paced and complex, The Last Goodbye is a thriller with heart. I finished it with a huge sense of gratitude that it is a series and that it will not be the last I will be meeting the brilliant, driven, astute yet beautifully flawed David Raker.
