One Of Us Is Dead

The latest race-against-time instalment of the award-winning Grace series by Peter James, now a major BRITBOX show.

Hunting him would be murder . . .

When James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the back of the small church. But as the service progresses, Taylor notices a man six rows in front of him. At first he thinks he must be mistaken, but the more he looks at him, the more convinced Taylor becomes that this is his old schoolfriend, Rufus Rorke.

Except it couldn’t be him, could it? Because two years ago, Taylor attended Rufus Rorke’s funeral. He even delivered Rufus’s eulogy. . .

On the other side of Brighton at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And how could they possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?

Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be . . .

‘Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world’ – Lee Child

‘Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business’ – Karin Slaughter

‘One of the world’s most popular detective series’ – The Guardian
