Description

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace exposes the dark side of internet dating in the intriguing crime novel Dead at First Sight, by award winning author Peter James.
A man waits at a London airport for the love of his life to arrive. Across the Atlantic, a retired cop waits in a bar in Florida's Key West for his first date with the lady who is his soulmate. The two men are about to discover they've been scammed out of almost every penny they have in the world – and that neither women exist.
In the same week, Roy Grace is called to investigate the suicide of a woman in Brighton, that is clearly not what it seems. As his investigations continue, a handsome motivational speaker comes forward. He's discovered his identity is being used to scam eleven different women online. The first he knew of it was a phone call from one of them saying, 'You don't know me, but I thought I knew you'.
That woman is now dead.
Roy Grace realizes he is looking at the tip of an iceberg. Can he bring down the murderous global empire built on clever, cruel internet scams?
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Dead at First Sight is the fifteenth title in the bestselling series. Discover more of the Brighton detective's investigations with Find Them Dead and Left You Dead.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

        June 17, 2019
        In British author James’s enjoyable 15th novel featuring Det. Supt. Roy Grace (after 2018’s Dead if You Don’t), international criminal Mr. Barrey uses his team of merciless internet scammers, children trained in Ghana, to trick elderly singles on dating sites into falling in love and giving up their life savings. When Mr. Barrey’s business partner, Jules de Copeland, who has a penchant for wearing red shoes, goes rogue and sets up his own dating service, Mr. Barrey hires Grace’s nemesis, the assassin Tooth, to find and kill de Copeland. Meanwhile, a man wearing red shoes is implicated in the death of a scam victim, initially believed to be a suicide, in Grace’s territory of Brighton. This straightforward police procedural offers no plot twists or surprises, but James does a good job of detailing how the same modern technology that can wreak havoc can also help bring crooks to justice. Grace’s accepting a new position in London at the end promises a fresh direction for this long-running series. James’s many fans will look forward to seeing what’s next for Grace.
