The Last Goodbye

Brought to you by Penguin.

ONE DAY AGO...

On the night Tom Brenner and his nine-year-old son Leo visit the

Seven Peaks theme park, they head straight for the ghost house.

They go in. But they don't come out.

Somewhere inside the ride, impossible

as it seems, the two of them simply vanish.

FORTY YEARS AGO...

When Rebekah Murphy was three, her mother

walked out of their childhood home and never returned.

Nearly four decades on, Fiona Murphy is still missing.

But then, out of the blue, a letter arrives in the post.

It says it's from Fiona.

WHAT IS THE CONNECTION?

Missing persons investigator David Raker is hired by

Rebekah to find out if the letter is actually from Fiona -

and, if it isn't, why someone would pretend to be her.

But this is a mystery whose secrets were never meant to be found.

And as Raker starts to connect the dots from Fiona to

the Brenners, he begins to realise he can't trust

anyone - even the people closest to him...

Reviews

Corkscrew twists. Impossible to read without breaking into a sweat

—— THE TIMES

The master of the clever, unpredictable plots is back with his best book yet! I'm a huge fan of the David Raker series and The Last Goodbye floored me with its perfectly executed twists and tense, original premise. With one of the most sinister fictional villains I've come across this had me on the edge of my seat. Superb!

—— CLAIRE DOUGLAS

Grips like a vice and twists like a rollercoaster. Impossibly clever. Impossible to put down. The Raker series never disappoints

—— CHRIS WHITAKER

Tim Weaver is a master of the crime genre. His David Raker novels, including the latest instalment, The Last Goodbye, stand out from the rest. You'll be addicted from the hook at the outset, gripped by the intricate plotting and whiplash-inducing twists but what will keep you riveted to the final page is their intelligent, unflinching examination of the darker side of humanity and the damage it can cause us all. I couldn't look away.

—— GILLY MACMILLAN

Haunting, gripping, fast paced and complex, The Last Goodbye is a thriller with heart. I finished it with a huge sense of gratitude that it is a series and that it will not be the last I will be meeting the brilliant, driven, astute yet beautifully flawed David Raker.

—— FEMI KAYODE

—— Claudia Carroll

'Stylish, intense and brilliantly twisty. This is a terrific summer thriller.'

—— B. P. Walter

'I loved The Dive - a twisty, gripping, unputdownable thriller set in a stunning but sinister location.'

—— Roz Watkins

'Imagine Lucy Foley's The Guest List transported to a pristine tropical island occupied by travellers, where everyone is running away from something, and nothing and no-one is quite as it seems. The claustrophobic world of beach-bums, influencers and long-term ex-pats, each with their own agenda, is the perfect environment for a fast-paced closed-room thriller that demands to be read in one sitting - prepare to be submerged from the first page and not resurface until that unsettling final line.'

—— Charlotte Philby

'Reading The Dive gave me the same wanderlust chills I got when I first read The Beach - Sara Ochs' stunning debut combines an exotic location to die for (literally), a host of itinerant characters with multiple secrets to hide and plenty of locked-room thrills. This is one sun-soaked, escapist thriller you won't want to miss!'

—— C. M. Ewan

'A perfect debut thriller. The definition of an up-all-night page-turner.'

—— Michael Wood

Dive in - a perfect sunlounger read.

—— Chat magazine

This breathless thriller keeps you hooked.

—— Crime Monthly

A strikingly assured and accomplished debut. Sara Ochs clearly has a fine understanding of the conventions and possibilities of the psychological thriller. She has devised an intricate and satisfying puzzle here.

—— Irish Examiner

Set on a beautiful Thai island, danger is always lurking just below the surface in this brilliantly thrilling murder mystery.

—— Fabulous maagzine

A ripping tale that neither shies away from big questions nor interesting answers

—— New Scientist
