With the David Raker novels, Tim Weaver has carved out an area of British crime fiction uniquely his own.

If you haven't yet met Raker, you're in for a treat -- Mick Herron

A brilliant missing persons mystery with plenty of intrigue and a jaw-dropping number of twists and turns. Truly excellent -- B A Paris
