It kept me looking for excuses and breaks to be able to pick it up whenever I could and ends extremely satisfactorily, even while leaving you wanting to follow Raker on his next case. His novels have been selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club three times, and his work has been nominated for a National Book Award and the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger. This book has about 200 pages in it so its not to small but not to big either if your a reader who like something small.

But when Mary Towne employs him to find her son Alex, he doesn't realise what torments he is letting himself in for. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .Alex’s life begins to unfold in front of Raker and the missing persons’ investigator finds dangerous secrets in the apparently innocent life of Alex Towne – secrets that a group of killers have guarded dearly, and that they continue to guard, even at the cost of Raker’s life.
