Peter James | Dead Simple
Dead Simple by Peter James is the first novel in the bestselling Roy Grace series and a brilliantly claustrophobic crime thriller built around a stag-night prank that goes catastrophically wrong. Just days before his wedding, Michael Harrison's friends decide to repay him for years of practical jokes by putting him in a coffin and burying him underground, equipped with only a few basic supplies and a breathing tube. Then, on their way home, four of the friends are killed in a car accident. Suddenly, Michael is trapped beneath the earth – and almost nobody knows where he is.
With the wedding only days away, Michael's distraught fiancée Ashley Harper turns to Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a Brighton policeman still haunted by the unexplained disappearance of his own wife. Grace soon discovers that the one man who may know Michael's whereabouts is refusing to talk – and may have far more to gain from Michael's disappearance than anyone suspects. Fast-paced, dark and packed with twists, Dead Simple launches Peter James's acclaimed Roy Grace series with an ingenious race against time.
