Summary

'A brilliant opening twist. It had me racing to the end' Fiona Barton, bestselling author of The Widow

THE UNPUTDOWNABLE THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK NO ONE HOME

A young man wakes up bruised and beaten, with no memory of who he is or where he came from.

The press immediately dub him 'The Lost Man'.

Naming himself Richard Kite, he spends the next ten months desperately trying to find out who he is. But despite media appeals and the efforts of the police, no one knows him.

Richard's last hope may be private investigator David Raker - a seasoned locator of missing people. But Raker has more questions than answers.

Who is Richard Kite?

Why does no one know him?

And what links him to the body of a woman found beside a London railway line two years ago?


Could Richard be responsible for her death - or is he next?
