DAVID RAKER IS BACK WITH ANOTHER HEART-POUNDING MISSING PERSONS CASE

CCTV footage captures Cate and Aiden Gascoigne driving home seconds before their car plunges into a ravine and explodes.

When fire crews arrive, the vehicle is empty.

Cate and Aiden have vanished.

Missing persons investigator David Raker has solved too many impossible cases. He knows that behind every disappearance lies a dark tale waiting to be uncovered.

What he doesn't know is how dark this one is - or how close it will get to him . . .

Critic Reviews

I much enjoyed Tim Weaver 's latest, The Blackbird. It's a fine addition to an excellent series
With the David Raker novels, Tim Weaver has carved out an area of British crime fiction uniquely his own. Unsettling, brilliantly plotted, and satisfyingly complex, these books are unputdownable, and the latest - The Blackbird - is no exception. If you haven't yet met Raker, you're in for a treat (Mick Herron)
I always look forward to a new Raker but The Blackbird blew me away. Brilliantly plotted, deliciously dark and so clever and unpredictable I was left reeling as I turned the last page. I'm already eagerly awaiting Tim Weaver's next. A writer at the top of his game (Claire Douglas)
A brilliant missing persons mystery with plenty of intrigue and a jaw-dropping number of twists and turns. Truly excellent (B A Paris)
Incredibly well-paced, with menacing, clever twists - Raker is back in this stunning read from one of the masters of the genre. Tim Weaver goes from strength to strength and this is his best book yet (Phoebe Morgan)
The impressive Weaver triumphs again with this intricate mystery
Shocking, gripping, heart-pounding, The Blackbird is unputdownable . . . Bloody brilliant (Nikki May)
Taut and immersive, with all the hallmarks of a true crime novel (Catherine Steadman)
This is the 11th novel by Weaver to feature his widowed sleuth, and the author's casual expertise is firmly in evidence
A killer concept, and a twisty, addictive tale. Fabulous! (Gytha Lodge)
