Chasing the Dead: 1 (David Raker Mystery)

Product Information

When a young man wakes up bruised and beaten, with no memory of who he is or where he came from, the press immediately dub him 'The Lost Man'. Seguire i casi era sempre stato per lui stimolante e, grazie ai contatti che aveva mantenuto dopo aver abbandonato il giornalismo, David spesso era riuscito a riportare a casa molte persone scomparse, spesso anche bambini; eppure con la morte di Derryn David sente di aver perso una parte di sé, la gioia di vivere e il desiderio di alzarsi la mattina. It was my first book by the author and, considering the fact that it was also his debut novel, he got already my full attention- even if I didn't rate it with a full five stars - and I am sure that he will be getting better in the following installments about David Raker, a missing persons investigator.

But despite the hundreds of people who went missing every day of every year, I’m not sure that I ever expected to make a living out of trying to find them.

Tim Weaver is the Sunday Times bestselling author of thirteen novels, including No One Home, The Blackbird and The Last Goodbye , and a short story collection. Tim Weaver is the international bestselling author of the mystery series featuring private investigator David Raker. Not his best book IMO A good plot with an unexpected twist at the end, but too full of graphic descriptions of gratuitous violence for my liking - I found it uncomfortable reading. But I also know him from "Red Harvest," which is one of the worst Star Wars novels I have ever read.Biography: Tim Weaver is the Sunday Times bestselling author of thirteen novels, including No One Home, The Blackbird and The Last Goodbye, and a short story collection. But despite the hundreds of people who went missing every day of every year, I'm not sure that I ever expected to make a living out of trying to find them.

But when Mary Towne employs him to find her son Alex, he doesn't realise what torments he is letting himself in for. I would recommend it to my thriller-reading friends who are willing to branch out into a bit of horror. Oh and the twist in the tale was an actual twist not one of those ones that you will know all along. The book opens with a Coben-esque conundrum - David is tasked with finding the dead son of a friend, who swears she saw him very much alive, walking the streets of London a month or so earlier.

His novels are Broken Heart, What Remains, Fall From Grace, Never Coming Back, Vanished, The Dead Tracks, and Chasing the Dead. I skimmed the second half, with its complacent scenes of torture and pseudo Christian references to evil and such! Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . Praise for Tim Weaver:'Weaver has delivered another cracking crime thriller' Daily Mail'I couldn't put it down' The Sun'Weaver's books get better each time - tense, complex, written with flair as well as care' Guardian'The reader is educated as well as entertained, enthralled and intrigued. There’s an interesting premise/hook here that careens off the rails about a third of the way through, the story-line never finding its way back to even mindless entertainment.

Went into it based upon my love for Joe's other books I read (No Doors, No Windows and Death troopers) but what I got was a different taste of his works all together.

I'd always liked the investigative parts of journalism, the dirty work, the digging, more than I had liked the writing.I liked this book so much that when I finished it I immediately downloaded the next one in the series. His fourth novel, Never Coming Back, was selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club, and his work has been nominated for a National Book Award.
