Peter James gives Detective Roy Grace one of his most challenging cases to date in the latest in the Dead series: You Are Dead. Grace is handed two seemingly unconnected cases; the first, a woman’s body is found buried under a pathway about 30 years ago, the second the abduction of a woman from her parking garage on a cold December night.
As the two cases start to overlap, Grace and his team realise they are dealing with a serial killer, Brighton’s first since the 1950s, and one that
the local council want caught quickly before the tourist trade and people’s confidence is ruined.
As more women go missing Grace must use all his experience to solve the case. Meanwhile his own past is close to catching him up.
The story moves at a quick pace and as with the other books in the series, James’ knowledge and research is apparent.
