About this listen

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace unearths a powerful criminal network in the sinister crime novel Find Them Dead, by award winning author Peter James.

Ending his secondment to London’s Met Police, Roy Grace gets a tip-off about a drugs mastermind operating out of Brighton. On his first day back in his old job, he is called to a seemingly senseless murder.

Gradually, Grace’s investigation draws him into the evil sphere of an utterly ruthless drug dealer on trial. A man prepared to order the death of anyone it takes to enable him to walk free from court.

Sitting in the jury is Meg Magellan, whose daughter's life is being threatened by a stranger who tells her that if she ever wants to see her alive again, it is very simple. At the end of the trial, all she has to do is make sure the jury says just two words . . . Not guilty.

Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Find Them Dead is the sixteenth title in the bestselling series. Discover more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Left You Dead.

Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

Critic Reviews

As ever, the pages become blurred as you race to discover the verdict. The plot also leaves you hungry for the next episode in DS Grace’s personal drama
An intriguing glimpse into the justice system and drugs crime
Sharp, engrossing, and unexpected! (What's Better Than Books)
Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business (Karin Slaughter)
Meticulous research gives his prose great authenticity . . . James manages to add enough surprises and drama that by the end you’re rooting for the police and really don’t know if they will finally get their men
James just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class series
Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures, and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives, as no English crime writer before him. His hero, Roy Grace, may not be the most lively cop, nor the most damaged by drink, weight or misery, but he's one of the most believable

It was like a piece of chocolate... I wanted more all the time. There is the question of what happens next.

Great suspense!

I’ve always loved peter James stories. And Daniel Weymans voice is lovely. This book is less about Roy and family and more about a court case. Didn’t like it much ......liked it least of his stories. I do hope they improve as time goes on.
So I’d pass on this book. Find another.

Roy Grace a nice bloke
