" A bestseller in the UK, this gripping thriller of a family that vanishes into thin air is Tim Weaver's American debut Emily Kane arrives at her sister Carrie's house to find the front door unlocked, dinner on the table, and the family nowhere to be found-Carrie, her husband, and two daughters have disappeared. When the police turn up no leads, Emily turns to her former boyfriend David Raker, a missing persons investigator, to track the family down. As Raker pursues the case, he discovers evidence of a sinister cover-up, decades in the making and with a long trail of bodies behind it. Tim Weaver's thrillers have been hugely popular in the UK, and now Never Coming Back will introduce his beloved character David Raker to American audiences. Set in Las Vegas and a small fishing village in England, the novel is a smart, fast-paced thriller sure to keep readers guessing until the very end"--… (mehr)

Anche questa nuova storia mi è piaciuto molto, avvincente ed emozionante sotto molto aspetti.
Una vicenda che colpisce e che segna anche un’importante svolta nella vita di David Raker, incaricato da Emily, una sua ex fidanzata, di ritrovare la sorella Carrie, il marito e le due figlie, scomparsi da tempo senza lasciare tracce.
Un’indagine intricata e difficile che lo porterà fino a Las Vegas dove lo attende un finale mozzafiato e del tutto inatteso.
Un consiglio a chi vorrà leggere questi libri: seguite l’ordine di pubblicazione della serie perché anche se ogni storia è conclusiva e a sé stante, alcuni rimandi e le evoluzioni dei personaggi ricorrenti seguono una logica temporale e, a volte, sono complementari alle storie stesse. (

I've got to report this: the story does not end until the period on the very last sentence. (

I had never read anything by this author before so really didn't know what to expect. I understand it was his debut novel here in the states so I missed the first three but no matter. I liked his character of David Raker but why does every main character have to have unsolved hangups? There's quite a lot of violence in this book and David has to prove his ability. As a result he suffers injuries that would send most of us for extended stays to the hospital if not the morgue...but in his case barely slow him down. He also tends to run head first into situations before having a plan to get out of them...but don't they all? Overall he's a man the reader can root for and the author gives us an easy, enjoyable read. (

The fourth book in the David Raker series and the best by far. Also the first of the series that found some distribution in the U.S. The first three books provide some wonderful background for the characters, but more graphic violence. The setting is coastal England and Las Vegas, an entire family is missing, Raker is still recovering from his previous case. The beginning of this story is a little difficult to follow as only some parts are given dates, but hang in there for a thrilling tale. I did not foresee the relationship that tied the plot together. Some of the minor characters were distracting, but overall this series has reached solid ground. I look forward to continuing this series. (

E purtroppo ho finito tutti i libri tradotti di Tim Weaver. Veramente belli thriller adrenalici che ti tengono col fiato sospeso fino alla fine. I personaggi sono sempre ben delineati e le storie molto originali. Di solito iniziano con due casi apparentemente scollegati che all fine si intrecciano. In attesa del prossimo metto questo autore tra i preferiti. (
