'Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world' - LEE CHILD, author of the Jack Reacher series
Meet Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on his unforgettable first major case, in this TV tie-in edition of Dead Simple, the first instalment in the award-winning series by Peter James. Now a major ITV show starring John Simm.
*****
It was meant to be a harmless stag-night prank. But a few hours later, the groom has disappeared and his friends are dead.
With only three days to the wedding, Roy Grace is contacted by the man's distraught fiancée to unearth what happened on that fateful night.
The one man who ought to know of the groom's whereabouts is saying nothing. But then he has a lot more to gain than anyone realizes, for one man's disaster is another man's fortune . . .
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Dead Simple is the first thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective's investigations with Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.
