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 men only have 48 hours to solve both cases – or everything that matters to them and everyone they love is in danger…
