Sinossi
Un giovane uomo viene ritrovato presso la foce del Southampton Water contuso, malmenato e senza alcuna memoria di chi sia e da dove venga. La stampa si interessa subito a lui ribattezzandolo l'Uomo smarrito e diffondendone le immagini su tutto il territorio nazionale. Eppure, dieci mesi dopo, Richard Kite - sempre che questo sia il suo vero nome - è ancora alla disperata ricerca della propria identità. Nessuno, infatti, sembra conoscerlo, nonostante gli appelli e gli sforzi della polizia. L'ultima speranza di Kite potrebbe risiedere nell'investigatore privato David Raker, specializzato nella ricerca di persone scomparse. Ma lo stesso detective ha da offrirgli più domande che risposte... Chi è Richard Kite? Perché nessuno lo conosce? Dove sono i suoi familiari e amici? E cosa lo lega all'omicidio di una donna ritrovata sui binari a Londra due anni prima? Il detective Raker dovrà attingere alla sua lunga esperienza e ai contatti della sua precedente carriera di giornalista investigativo per risalire alla vera identità del misterioso sconosciuto.

I had previously heard good things about author Tim Weaver but had never gotten round to reading one of his novels, so when I was offered this I thought it was a perfect opportunity. The novel is about a man who wakes up bruised, beaten and with no memory of who he is or where he came from, the press Leggi tutto
3.5 stars – but I’m rounding up to 4 because I liked more than I disliked. My first impression of this book, before I even picked it up was this: oh no. Firstly, Netgalley is pretty useless at telling you when a book is part way through a series, so I didn’t initially realise this was the EIGHTH book Leggi tutto
I Am Missing is book number eight in the David Raker series, and Tim Weaver delivers yet another wonderful read. I’ve been a fan of David Raker since I started the first book, Chasing the Dead. It was such a wonderful read, and each additional book has added something more to the series. Each book is Leggi tutto
I'm afraid I didn't get on nearly as well with I Am Missing as a lot of other reviewers. The set-up is excellent: David Raker, a specialist in missing persons, is contacted by a man with amnesia to try to find out who he is. It's an intriguing premise and I thought the opening of the book was very g Leggi tutto
I am a huge fan of Tim Weaver’s books but never got round to reading I Am Missing until just this past week. As always it was another thrilling and engrossing mystery. I said on Twitter that I rarely become as gripped by a mystery as I do by the ones Tim writes and that is so true. They are just so Leggi tutto
4.5 Star This is the first book I have read by Tim Weaver, and did not realise it was part of a series when i requested it. Part of the David Raker series, but works extremely well as a stand alone. I really liked the idea behind the main plot of the story. Raker is a missing persons investigator, whe Leggi tutto
