Sinossi
Nella notte di Halloween, i nove residenti di Black Gale si riuniscono per una cena. Mangiano, bevono e ridono. Giocano e scattano foto. Le foto saranno l'ultimo ricordo di ciascuno di loro. La mattina seguente, infatti, l'intero villaggio sembrerà svanito nel nulla. Senza cadaveri, prove o indizi, il mistero di cosa successe al Black Gale rimane irrisolto per i successivi due anni e mezzo. Ma alla fine le famiglie delle persone scomparse ingaggiano un investigatore, David Raker, per vedere se riesce a scoprire qualcosa, là dove la polizia sembra essersi arresa. Da quel momento, l'ossessione dei parenti diventa anche la sua... Quali segreti i vicini nascondevano alle loro famiglie, e tra di loro? Erano veramente quello che sembravano? L'investigatore Raker è alla ricerca di 9 persone scomparse o di 9 cadaveri? In una narrazione che va avanti e indietro nel tempo, Raker si ritrova nel caso più contorto, stimolante e pericoloso, in cui iniziano a emergere le connessioni tra Los Angeles e gli abitanti di Black Gale.

This was the absolute bomb, I enjoyed this book just so much. I am a relatively new reader of this author after I requested the previous book in this series without realising it was part of an ongoing series.

I was really drawn in by the premise of this book and was initially hooked, but as the story went on I became less and less engaged. The story, though well written, seemed rather dry and the plot increasingly unlikely. The motivations and actions of the villain of the piece appeared a bit too far fe Leggi tutto
This is the 10th book in the David Raker series by author Tim Weaver. I love Tim Weaver's writing and decided very early on when reading the 1st book in the series that I would purchase the rest of the books. This latest novel is another exceptionally well paced book that has twists and turns and so Leggi tutto
Tim Weaver now officially holds the record for the book that grabbed me the quickest. It had me on page one and that's a true rarity. The tenth private investigator David Raker instalment takes place around the festival of Halloween which right away creates an ominous, tense atmosphere and this unde Leggi tutto
