Summary
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
So here's the one warning that I would give fans of the series even though I think this is a top-notch book with Daniel Weyman's usual fine narration taking us through. This is a little different in that while there is still a fair amount of Grace and his back story with Bruno does inch along at James's usual slow and methodical pace he does take much more of a back seat to the key people in the crime story itself. Also, long-time fans will notice a much more sanitised Norman Potting and sadly Glen Branson is still mostly on the subs bench just coming off it occasionally as an impact sub.
So, a great story, I always like a good courtroom drama, well read and well worth making time for but it is worth noting Grace's slightly less active role and the differences in the character balance. Of course, don't worry, Cassian Pugh lives down to his normal standards, but can Grace stand up to him?
