Summary

Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in the latest instalment of the award-winning Grace series, now a major ITV series.

A ruthless crime. A race against time.

In the dead of night, a farmer hears a suspicious noise. It’s everyone’s worst nightmare: a break-in. When he confronts the intruders, he has no idea that just minutes later he will be left lying in a pool of blood. But the chilling truth lies not in the act itself, but what the perpetrators were willing to kill for.

At the scene of the crime, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace senses something amiss. This is no mere botched robbery; it’s the tip of the iceberg of a nationwide crime epidemic. Ruthless gangs, operating with military precision, have discovered a new black market flourishing in the shadows – an unthinkable source of wealth even more profitable than drugs.

Grace’s investigation into this deadly trade pits him against some of the most ruthless people he has ever encountered; people who will kill anyone who gets in their way, because where there is greed, there is murder.

The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher. Out of his element, and out of time, can Roy Grace put a stop to these criminal masterminds before more innocent lives are lost?

Never disappoints

A great subject to cover, especially now, more than ever.
Let’s hope anyone reading this book and thinking about buying a puppy from these horrendous puppy farms, makes them think again after listening to this book.

Superb!

Another great Grace book. Brilliant story & performance. Grace and all his colleagues never disappoint in a story where you are willing the bad guys to fail

Riveting story

Enjoyed every minute of this. Very cleverly put together. Keeps your attention throughout. Kudos for speaking out for voiceless dogs and the misery they are put through in puppy farms. Which for some reason are still legal in this country anyway.

As gripping as ever

The narration by Daniel keeps you engrossed with all the characters so well.

The story itself is a typical rollercoaster of emotion, crime and life that you expect from a Grace novel. This one is quite an emotive story - and whilst hoping for a happy ending for girl in hospital, you know Peter James doesn’t always do happy endings so anything can (and does) happen

You won’t be disappointed by this story or how Grace and the team respond.

Absolutely brilliant as usual

Performance fantastic, I love Daniel Weyman, never ever disappoints. I didn’t think Peter James could possibly outdo all the rest of the Grace series but he has. I hope there will be another before too long!

Good Dog D’été Story

I’m not much interested in dogs but this was an interesting detective story. The story of the girl bitten by the dog with rabies was a bit overstretched I thought. In all a good listen which held my interest to the end

Another great story.

Best book I’ve read for a while. Although it got a bit slow in places, I was invested enough to keep listening. Looking forward to the next one.
