**Pre-order the new, heart-stopping David Raker thriller from the million-copy bestselling master of the missing person mystery** ONE DAY AGO… Following a car accident, Preston Stewart goes in for surgery on his face. The operation is a success. Afterwards, still recovering from the anaesthetic and with his wife Ellie at his side, Preston’s bandages are removed by a nurse. But when Ellie sees the man under the bandages, something is wrong. It’s not her husband. 16 YEARS AGO… Zauna Roy’s older brother Marco went missing when she was ten. He’s never been found. After finishing university, Zauna meets Anna and Sydney, a two-person documentary crew who become fascinated by Marco’s disappearance. The three women begin looking into what happened and where Marco could have gone. A month later, Zauna, Anna and Sydney vanish into thin air. NOW… Missing persons investigator David Raker is hired to find out what happened to Preston Stewart –– and soon makes a connection to the three lost women. But as he and his long-time ally, former detective Colm Healy, begin unravelling the two cases, they start to realise these crimes aren’t just connected to each other, they’re connected to a killer called Dr Glass –– the man who murdered Healy’s daughter. Even worse, Raker and Healy are against the clock… because in 24 hours, something terrible is going to happen… —- PRAISE FOR TIM WEAVER 'Impossibly clever.
