Dead If You Don't

In his deadliest case yet, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces a complex kidnapping in Dead If You Don't, by award winning crime writer Peter James.

Kipp Brown, successful businessman and compulsive gambler, is having the worst run of luck and is beginning to lose big style. Taking his teenage son, Mungo, to a football match should have given him a welcome respite, if only for a few hours. But it’s at the stadium where his nightmare begins.

Within minutes of arriving at the game the boy suddenly disappears and Kipp gets a terrifying message that someone has his child, and to get him back alive, Kipp will have to pay.

Roy Grace is brought in to investigate what seems to be a straightforward case of kidnap. But rapidly Grace finds himself entering a dark, criminal underbelly of the city, where the rules are different and nothing is what it seems . . .

Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Dead If You Don't is the fourteenth title in the bestselling series. Discover more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead at First Sight and Find Them Dead.

Now a major BRITBOX series, Grace, starring John Simm.
