About this deal

As he continues with the investigations, he realizes that there was more to Alex’s life than met the eye. Indeed, Alex was not the innocent person that his mother knew, as his life was full of sinister events whose secrecy was guarded by men who would do anything to ensure that the secrets were not disclosed, including killing anyone who insisted on knowing them. David is later to learn that death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. CCTV footage captures Cate and Aiden Gascoigne driving home seconds before their car plunges into a ravine and explodes.

With the growing popularity of Tim’s novels and given that he now writes full time, he is poised for great success. A case in point, Fall from Grace was the second biggest selling book in England the week in which it was released and Tim’s works has been nominated for a National Book Award and for the Crime Writer’s Association Dagger.Fans of this series know Raker to be a dogged and intuitive investigator, who will single-mindedly burrow away at the case in hand until he begins to find answers, but this time he hits dead end after dead end. Wherever the Gascoignes went, someone out there doesn’t want them found. And then there’s the mystery of the two witnesses to the crash, who both gave suspiciously word perfect descriptions of what happened, and seem to have unusual changes of character afterwards. As the death toll rises, Raker flounders in the dark. In summary, the sinuous plot takes us through toe-curling and fist clenching violence scenes and we feel David Raker go through the normal vicissitudes of life as he grows. The mystery and suspense in the entire novel is awesome.

Grips like a vice and twists like a rollercoaster. Impossibly clever. Impossible to put down' CHRIS WHITAKER The impact should kill them. And if the impact doesn’t, the fire will: seconds after it comes to rest, the Land Rover bursts into flames. By the time the emergency services arrive, it’s an inferno. But the fire crews and forensic teams who expect to find the charred remains of a husband and wife find something else instead. Tim Weaver is an English novelist born in 1977 in Bath, England.

But once Archer’s glad handing has garnered enough useful witnesses, he quietly departs, grabs a cab and heads to the Chelsea apartment of his girlfriend, Julia. It’s a mistake – and one that is about to test Archer’s courage to the very limit. Architect of Courage by novelist and Crime Fiction Lover reviewer Victoria Weisfeld comes out on 4 June. There’s anther dogged missing persons investigator as protagonist in Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner. Missing persons investigator David Raker has solved too many impossible cases.

Truly excellent B A Paris
