About this listen

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

As ever, the pages become blurred as you race to discover the verdict. The plot also leaves you hungry for the next episode in DS Grace’s personal drama
An intriguing glimpse into the justice system and drugs crime
Sharp, engrossing, and unexpected! (What's Better Than Books)
Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business (Karin Slaughter)
Meticulous research gives his prose great authenticity . . . James manages to add enough surprises and drama that by the end you’re rooting for the police and really don’t know if they will finally get their men
James just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class series
Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures, and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives, as no English crime writer before him. His hero, Roy Grace, may not be the most lively cop, nor the most damaged by drink, weight or misery, but he's one of the most believable

Roy Grace is not featured very much in this book. I kept thinking oh yes this is where he will come into the picture. But he rarely did. It was all about a court case and the jury.
Not enough mentioned as there should be (for me), about Roy, Glenn and Norman - the police team!! Even the end was a damp squib.
I usually give these books top marks but sadly not this time.

Disappointing. Not the usual gripping Roy Grace storyline

I’m loving this series. The characters and storylines are always strong. The narration is excellent too. I’m very much looking forward to the next one being published.

As great as the rest!

I really enjoyed this book! In fact I think everything about it was great. The story was riveting and a bit of a change from the typical Roy Grace formula. I thoroughly recommend listening to it!

very good!

Twists and turns leave you wondering if the information you are hearing is true or false as the story keeps you guessing right the way through. A brilliant network or a house of cards.l loved the way you could never decide who was plain guilty or just made to look guilty,with unexpected twists. Another brilliant read from a master storyteller.

Who is really guilty and who innocent

I love the Roy Grace novels - this was a particularly good one with an ending that will obviously be the start of the next one. Great narration and good steady plot. Yes
