My in-house expert on thrillers and murder mysteries tells me that this is very poor -- starts well, but the plot becomes very implausible; writing and dialogue is very wooden.
1st in a series of Tim Weaver's David Raker mysteries. I read a previous on and didn't know it was a series, when I found out it was I got this one. It sets up the character from journalist to a missing person investigator. In this book David is looking for a friend's son who died the previous year in car accident. But the mother swears she saw him going into a library not far from where she works. She follows him until she loses him in the subway. She begs David to find him. Thus begins a convoluted search that takes David to places where people seem to know who he is and he has no idea who they are. They also want to kill him.
Very well written, but too dark for my taste.
