Vivian Q. (bellasgranny) -
Fourth book in this wonderful series starring Dectective Superintendent Roy Grace. I love the English setting and the character of Roy Grace and his fellow policemen. Peter James is hugely popular in England and deserves to be read by a wider audience in the US. Great writing, terrific story and pacing, and a definite page turner. I'm waiting for the next in the series to arrive in the mail. Maybe this time we'll find out what happened to Sandy. Highly recommended!
From the cover - Abby stepped in the lift and the doors closed with a sound like a shovel smoothing gravel. She breathed in the smell of someone else's perfum, and lemon-scented cleaning fluid. The lift jerked upwards a few inches. And now, too late to change her mind and get out, with the metal walls pressing in around her, they lunged sharply downwards. Abby was about to realize she had just made the worst mistake of her life ...Amid the tragic unfolding mayhem of the morning of 9/11, failed Brighton businessman and ne'er-do-well Ronnie Wilson sees the chance of a lifetime, to shed his debts, disappear and reinvent himself in another country.Six years later, the discovery of the skeletal remains of a woman's body in a storm drain in Brighton, leads Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on an enquiry spanning the globe, and into a desperate race against time to save the life of a woman being hunted down like an animal in the streets and alleys of Brighton.
