Brought to you by Penguin.

The heart-stopping new thriller from the million-copy bestselling master of the missing person mystery.

The Women Who Disappeared

Before he was a missing persons investigator, David Raker was a journalist – and there's one story that still haunts him. The Lost Women.

Eighteen years ago, on the Cornish coast, three women were filming a documentary about a missing student…until they vanished too. With no bodies and no leads, the disappearances remain unsolved.

The Patient Who Vanished

Today, Raker is hired to crack an impossible mystery. Following a car accident, Preston Stewart has surgery on his face. The operation is a success. But when the dressings are removed, Preston's wife realises something is very wrong. The man under the bandages is not her husband.

The Clock Is Ticking

Raker and his ally, former detective Colm Healy, begin digging into Preston’s disappearance – and discover a horrifying connection to the lost women. But there’s something even worse. The men only have 48 hours to solve both cases – or everything that matters to them and everyone they love is in danger…
