In The Last Goodbye, missing persons investigator David Raker tackles two intertwined disappearances, uncovering secrets that threaten his life and those around him.
In The Last Goodbye, two disappearances from different eras intertwine in a gripping narrative. David Raker, a seasoned missing persons investigator, is drawn into the mystery when he is hired by Rebekah Murphy. Nearly four decades after her mother vanished, Rebekah receives a letter that claims to be from her long-lost parent. As Raker delves deeper into the case, he finds unexpected connections to a more recent disappearance: the case of Tom Brenner and his son Leo, who mysteriously vanished during a visit to a theme park. The investigation reveals layers of secrets that threaten to unravel lives and expose truths best left buried.
The narrative unfolds with tension and suspense as Raker navigates through a web of deceit and danger. With his ally facing arrest and the stakes rising, the pressure mounts for him to solve the case before it's too late. The story explores themes of loss, family, and the lengths one will go to uncover the truth. With each twist and turn, The Last Goodbye keeps readers on the edge of their seats, questioning the very nature of trust and loyalty.
Tim Weaver, an acclaimed author, masterfully crafts a tale that is both unsettling and brilliantly plotted. As the past collides with the present, Raker's journey reveals not only the secrets of the missing but also the complexities of human relationships and the impact of unresolved grief. This compelling mystery is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever sought closure in the face of uncertainty.

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
