'One of James’s most emotionally engaging books' – Mirror


When a woman disappears into thin air, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace must face his most engrossing case yet. From CWA Diamond Dagger award-winning author Peter James.

*****

Niall and Eden Paternoster start their Sunday the same way they always do – with a long drive, a visit to a country house and a quick stop at the local supermarket on the way home.

But this Sunday ends differently – because while Niall waits and waits in the car park for Eden to pick up supplies, Eden never returns. She’s not waiting for him at home, and none of their family or friends have heard from her.

Gone without a trace, Niall is arrested on suspicion of her murder. When DS Roy Grace is called in to investigate, it doesn’t take long to realize that nothing in this case is quite as it seems . . .

Left You Dead is the seventeenth thrilling crime novel in the Roy Grace series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Simple, Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.

Now a major TV series starring John Simm.

Critic Reviews

One of James’s most emotionally engaging books
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
James just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class series
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
All stars

Loved this book and the fantastic twist.
Looking forward to the next case for Roy and his life with Cleo and their new baby.

Great twist

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I also guessed most of the ending which is annoying. Not all of it but almost all very bad form. Roy and his wife are a bit sooky I don’t think this story was his best.

I so love Daniel Weyman
