EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO
Three women visit a Cornish island...and vanish. No bodies. No trace.
They are never seen again.
Journalist David Raker covers the story but, like everyone else, finds no answers.
The fate of the women still haunts him.
YESTERDAY
Following a car accident, Preston Stewart requires surgery on his face. But when the dressings are removed, his wife realizes something is wrong.
The man under the bandages isn't her husband.
TODAY
Now a missing persons investigator, David Raker is hired to find Preston - and soon discovers a terrifying connection to the Lost Women.
Thrown into a desperate race against the clock, Raker has just hours to uncover the truth - or everyone he loves is in danger...

'Corkscrew twists. Impossible to read without breaking into a sweat' THE TIMES
'The master of clever, unpredictable plots' CLAIRE DOUGLAS
The Lost Women is Tim Weaver at the absolute top of his game – a masterclass in tense, propulsive thriller writing as a web of interlocking mysteries come together with deadly consequences. -- TM LOGAN
The Raker novels just keep getting better. Weaver’s novel is a masterclass in thriller-writing. THE LOST WOMEN is nail-biting, clever and superbly written. The characters leap off the page; their stories will raise your blood pressure and might break your heart. There’s also a risk of whiplash from the breakneck plotting and a risk of shock at the ending. Outstanding. -- GILLY MACMILLAN
Tim Weaver has done it again with this brilliantly twisty mystery. It's always a delight when a new Raker book appears -- you know it's going to sweep you away. This time, Raker is pulling together threads from the past and the present -- complicated and satisfying! -- HOLLY WATT
Another brilliant thriller by Weaver - The Lost Women grips you from the first page to the last. A superb read - so cleverly plotted with characters that I truly cared about. I loved it. -- NIKKI SMITH
