Chasing the Dead (David Raker, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


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.
