FIND THEM DEAD

Another edge-of-your-seat, what-would-I-do crime novel from master storyteller Peter James, as his hero Roy
Grace exposes a ruthless criminal network.

Roy Grace gets a tip-off about a county lines drugs mastermind operating out of Brighton. On his first day back
in Sussex, he is called to a seemingly senseless murder.

Separately, Meg Magellan finally has her life back together, after the car crash that killed her husband and their son. Her daughter, Laura, is on her gap year travelling in South America and Meg misses her badly. Laura is all she has in the world. Meg receives a summons for jury service. She's excited – it might distract her from worrying about Laura. But when she is selected for the trial of a Brighton drugs overlord, everything changes.

Grace's investigation draws him into the sinister sphere of influence of the drug dealer on trial. A man utterly ruthless and evil.

Just a few days into jury service, Meg arrives home to find a photograph of Laura, in Ecuador, lying on her kitchen table. Then her phone rings. A sinister, threatening stranger is on the line. He tells her that if she ever wants to see Laura 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.
