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.
To save his favorite newspaper, Nero Wolfe steps into the crossfire
of a tabloid war. Master sleuth Nero Wolfe's small circle of
friends is limited to his assistant, Archie Goodwin; his chef,
Fritz; and Lon Cohen, the head man at the New York Gazette. Cohen
knows more about the city's power structure than any man in
Manhattan, and for years, he happily passed Wolfe information in
return for the odd exclusive scoop. But now Cohen needs Wolfe's
help, for the Gazette is ailing and the vultures have begun to
circle. Scottish newspaper magnate Ian MacLaren plans to gut the
paper and turn it into a sex-filled conservative rag. Standing in
his way is the company's chief shareholder, Gazette heir Harriet
Haverhill. But when the aged Ms. Haverhill dies in an apparent
suicide, no one remains to resist the Scot's advances except Wolfe.
MacLaren may be fierce, but when the cause is just, Nero Wolfe
knows how to play dirty too.

noticed. Do you ever see her, Lex? Does she haunt you too?
I haven’t been back to Eos since I first met my step-sister, Lex.
It’s been twenty-five years since that summer.

Since Abigail went missing.
Since we told the first lie.
Now we’re back together on the island.
So much has changed since we were teenagers.
We’ve both tried to move on from the past – from each other.
But the island won’t let us escape our secrets.
Only me and Lex know the truth about Abigail.
We’ve been living a lie for so long.
And if the truth comes out – neither of us will survive it…

Traci Beller was thirteen when her father disappeared in the sleepy town of Rancha, not far from Los Angeles. The evidence says Tommy Beller abandoned his family, but Traci never believed it. Now, ten years later, Traci is a high-profile influencer with millions of followers and the money to hire the best detective she can find: Elvis Cole.
Elvis heads to Rancha where an ex-con named Sadie Givens and her daughter, Anya, might have a line on the missing man. But when Elvis finds himself shadowed by a gang of vicious criminals, the missing persons cold case becomes far more sinister.
Elvis calls his ex-Marine friend, Joe Pike, for help, and they follow Tommy Beller's trail into the depths of a monstrous, hidden evil. The case flips on its head, victims become predators, predators become prey, and the question becomes: Can Elvis Cole save them all from this nightmare?

beauty. A disenchanted cop with an inimitable talent for living who
turns his back on a police force marred by corruption and racism
and, in the name of friendship, takes the fight against the mafia
into his own hands. "Just as Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy made
Los Angeles their very own, so Mr. Izzo has made Marseilles so much
more than just another geographical setting."-The Economist "Izzo's
ability to describe Marseilles and to make his readers feel the
multiracial reality of that city so directly and authentically is
fascinating."-Andrea Camilleri "One of the masterpieces of modern
noir."-The Washington Post
