An Evening with Tim Weaver - The Lost Women

Join us in Bridgnorth for an evening with bestselling author Tim Weaver as he talks ‘in conversation’ with fellow crime writer Mark Edwards about his heart-stopping new thriller The Lost Women, the 15th David Raker novel.

THE WOMEN WHO DISAPPEARED
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 man under the bandages is not her husband.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING
Raker and his ally, former detective Colm Healy, begin digging into Preston’s disappearance – and discover a horrifying connection to the lost women.
But there’s something even worse.
The men only have 48 hours to solve both cases – or everything that matters to them and everyone they love is in danger…

Tim Weaver is the master of the missing person mystery. 2025 marks 15 years of Raker novels and in addition to his new book, Tim will also talk about what it takes to keep a series like this alive, how the crime fiction landscape has changed in those 15 years and how he keeps Raker fresh, novel after novel.
