Product Information

As if that is not enough, iTunes also mentioned the book in a special way, including it in the Best of 2013 list. We at Penguin Random House Australia acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians and the first storytellers of the lands on which we live and work. Meanwhile, over in the wilds of Wales, Raker’s fugitive friend Colm Healy has problems of his own – someone is taking an interest in him, and that’s a big no-no for n ex-cop who must live his life under the radar.

If you’re coming to the series cold, however, it really isn’t the place to start your acquaintance with Raker. To read more about the site or if you want a graphic to link to us, see the about page for more details. In this story, Emily Kane arrives at Carrie’s house only to find that Carrier and his two daughters have disappeared, although the front door is unlocked and dinner is on the table.

We are yet to see any of his works on the big screen but that is something that is sure to come, given the increasing readership of his novels. 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. There’s anther dogged missing persons investigator as protagonist in Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner. However, Tim Weaver’s Never Coming Back seems to be loved by many people, if its selection for the Richard and Judy Book club is anything to go by.

Raker finds out that there is no substance in the allegations made about Megan’s disappearance- everything was cooked.It’s a unique twist on the locked room mystery involving a car crash, a burning vehicle and the inexplicable disappearance of the two people who were inside. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities. And if the impact doesn’t, the fire will: seconds after it comes to rest, the Land Rover bursts into flames.
