A man with no memory of who he is or where he is from enlists the help of missing persons investigator David Raker in this addictive new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author.

When 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 Rakerβ€”but Raker has more questions than answers.

I Am Missing poses a series of intriguing questions: 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 deathβ€”or is he next?
