About this deal

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into the unfamiliar and rarefied world of fine art. Outwardly it appears respectable, gentlemanly, above reproach. But beneath the veneer, he rapidly finds that greed, deception and violence walk hand-in-hand. And Harry and Freya are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare . . . Best Books Set in the 1920s — from Stories That Shimmer with Champagne and Social Change, to Rip-roaring Reads Covering Crime, Colonialism and Beyond. As always in Peter James’s books, the subject matter is meticulously researched and the plots very cleverly woven together. As well as the familiar cast, there are new characters who are wonderfully constructed and vividly portrayed. The new TV series has modified my image of Grace and the others but in a good way making the reading more easy to picture in ones mind. I've read and enjoyed all of James' previous books. Either he is getting tired and just phoning them in, or the publisher has resorted to a ghost writer to keep the series churning. I first noticed this phenomenon many years ago when a "Wilbur Smith" book was so bad it could not possibly have been written by him.
