Titles in This Set Chasing the Dead The Dead Tracks Vanished Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9789124051815 Publisher: Penguin Overview This David Raker Missing Persons Series 1-3 collection brings together the first three gripping paperback thrillers from Sunday Times bestselling author Tim Weaver: Chasing the Dead, The Dead Tracks and Vanished. Following London investigator David Raker, each novel blends procedural detail, emotional depth and slow-burn suspense as Raker is drawn into cases that are never quite what they seem. A brand new boxed set ideal for crime thriller fans or readers new to Weaver's acclaimed series. About the Books Chasing the Dead opens the series: a year after Alex Towne's body was discovered, his mother is convinced she has seen him alive, and reluctantly, Raker agrees to investigate — pulling him into a case built on grief, obsession and long-buried secrets. The Dead Tracks follows the disappearance of Megan Carver, a straight-A student and unlikely runaway, whose parents hire Raker after police enquiries stall; the case forces Raker to navigate a world of buried truths and dangerous secrets. Vanished completes the trio: on an ordinary December morning, Sam Wren boards a London tube train and is never seen again, with no witnesses and no trace on any security camera. Six months later, his wife hires Raker to find out what really happened. Across all three books, Weaver's writing combines meticulous investigative detail with genuine emotional stakes, deepening Raker's haunted backstory while delivering the twists that have made the series a favourite among UK crime readers. Together, these novels form the essential introduction to one of contemporary crime fiction's most compelling investigators, letting readers experience Raker's evolution from his very first case in matching brand new paperback editions.
