Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

One day ago...

On the night Tom Brenner and his nine-year-old son Leo visit the Seven Peaks theme park, they head straight for the ghost house.

They go in. But they don't come out.

Somewhere inside the ride, impossible as it seems, the two of them simply vanish.

Forty years ago...

When Rebekah Murphy was three, her mother walked out of their childhood home and never returned. Nearly four decades on, Fiona Murphy is still missing.

But then, out of the blue, a letter arrives in the post.

It says it's from Fiona.

What is the connection?

Missing persons investigator David Raker is hired by Rebekah to find out if the letter is actually from Fiona - and, if it isn't, why someone would pretend to be her.

But this is a mystery whose secrets were never meant to be found.

And as Raker starts to connect the dots from Fiona to the Brenners, he begins to realise he can't trust anyone - even the people closest to him...

Critic reviews

The master of the clever, unpredictable plots is back with his best book yet! I'm a huge fan of the David Raker series and The Last Goodbye floored me with its perfectly executed twists and tense, original premise. With one of the most sinister fictional villains I've come across this had me on the edge of my seat. Superb! (CLAIRE DOUGLAS)
Grips like a vice and twists like a rollercoaster. Impossibly clever. Impossible to put down. The Raker series never disappoints (CHRIS WHITAKER)
Tim Weaver is a master of the crime genre. His David Raker novels, including the latest instalment, The Last Goodbye, stand out from the rest. You'll be addicted from the hook at the outset, gripped by the intricate plotting and whiplash-inducing twists but what will keep you riveted to the final page is their intelligent, unflinching examination of the darker side of humanity and the damage it can cause us all. I couldn't look away. (GILLY MACMILLAN)

Another hit.

After this, looking forward to future books. I can't really fault the story line and my main thought after reading all the David Raker books is .. No-one is a bad guy in their own story.

5 ⭐️ Raker is back 😊

My first ever audio book was a new discovery, a David Raker novel. I loved it so much I listened from the 1st novel up to date & I wait every year for a new one and I am never disappointed. So often I read a good book and then the author does a series which becomes tedious and boring, not DR though, Thanks Tim another winner and great narration too

Great Raker thriller with plenty of Healy action

another great story, some pretty gruesome descriptions, but based in reality, sadly, and therefore it's almost a duty to read and understand them. Love the Healy elements in this book.

cleverly written

I struggled at first as so many different characters with each & every chapter. I knew that they were lall going to be linked at some point.
once all the ducks were in order I couldn't stop listening . thoroughly enjoyed this book.
