Now a major Britbox series, Grace, adapted for television by screenwriter Russell Lewis and starring John Simm.
*****

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace’s first major case is one he’ll never forget.

It was meant to be a harmless pre-wedding prank. But, a few hours later, the groom has disappeared and his friends are dead.

With only three days until the wedding, Grace is contacted by the man’s distraught fiancée to unearth what happened on that fateful night. He soon discovers that the one person who ought to know of the groom’s whereabouts is saying nothing.

But this individual has more to gain than anyone realizes, for one man’s disaster is another man’s fortune . . .

Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Dead Simple is the first thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.
