A shocking reveal threatens to unravel Detective Superintendent Roy
Grace's happy new life in the television tie-in edition of Love You
Dead, by award-winning crime author Peter James.
Now a major TV drama on Britbox, Grace stars John Simm as the titular
character.
Grace is newly married, having moved to a country cottage with Cleo and
their baby son. But his first, long-missing wife, now found, has left
Grace a surprise greater than he could have imagined.
Yet the police need Grace at work: an escaped murderer who left a
bullet in him is back, and a Black Widow is leaving an international
trail of corpses after bleeding them dry - in every sense. Now, she's
come to Brighton for her next wealthy target.
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Love You Dead
is the twelfth title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the
Brighton detective's investigations with Need You Dead and Dead If You
Don't.

"I'm minded of the way a fire spreads in dry bracken when we burn
it off the fellside: tongues of flame this way and that - 'tis
human tongues and words that's creeping like flames in brushwood."
It all began up at High Gimmerdale with the sheep-stealing, a
hateful act in the shepherding lands around the bend in the Lune
river - the Crook o' Lune. Then came the fire at Aikengill house
and with the leaping of the flames, death, disorder and dangerous
gossip came to the quiet moorlands. Visiting his friends, the
Hoggetts, while searching for some farmland to buy up ahead of his
retirement, Chief Inspector Robert Macdonald's trip becomes a
busman's holiday when he is drawn to investigate the deadly blaze
and the deep-rooted motives behind the rising spate of crimes.
Renowned for its authentic characters and settings based partly on
the author's own experiences of life in the Lune valley, E.C.R.
Lorac's classic rural mystery returns to print for the first time
since 1953.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING TO CATCH A SERIAL KILLER…
Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job –
transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing
murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the 'Fortnight
Killer'.
Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the
scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is
never seen again.
This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but he’s
been lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. It’s been
twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the
investigation’s running out of time.
Angus's shiny new job might just be the death of him…
