When Leonard Franks and his wife, Ellie, leave London for their dream retirement in the seclusion of Dartmoor, everything seems perfect. But then their new life is shattered. Leonard heads outside to fetch firewood from the back of the house - and never returns. Nine months later, with the police investigation at a dead end, Leonard's family turn to David Raker - a missing persons investigator with a gift for finding the lost. But nothing can prepare Raker for what he's about to uncover. Because at the heart of this disappearance lies a devastating secret. And by the time Raker realizes what it is, and how deep the lies go, it's not just him in danger - it's everyone he cares about. Praise for Tim Weaver- 'I couldn't put it down.' Sun 'His books get better each time - tense, complex, sometimes horrific, written with flair as well as care.' Guardian 'Weaver has delivered another cracking crime thriller.' Daily Mail
