In Dead Man's Time, the latest from international
bestselling author Peter James, Roy Grace finds himself up
against that most dangerous of all adversaries--a man with
fury in his heart who has nothing to lose.
New York,
1922. Five-year-old Gavin Daly and his seven-year-old
sister, Aileen, are boarding the SS Mauretania to
Dublin--and safety. Their mother has been shot and their
Irish mobster father abducted. Suddenly, a messenger hands
Gavin a piece of paper on which are written four names and
eleven numbers, a cryptic message that will haunt him all
his life, and his father's pocket watch. As the ship sails,
Gavin watches Manhattan fade into the dusk and makes a
promise, that one day he will return and find his father.
Brighton, 2012. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace
investigates a savage burglary in Brighton, in which an old
lady is murdered and £10m of antiques have been taken,
including a rare vintage watch. To Grace's surprise, the
antiques are unimportant to her family--it is the watch they
want back. As his investigation probes deeper, he realizes
he has kicked over a hornets nest of new and ancient
hatreds. At its heart is one man, Gavin Daly, the dead
woman's ninety-five-year-old brother. He has a score to
settle and a promise to keep--both of which lead to a
murderous trail linking the antiques world of Brighton, the
crime fraternity of Spain's Marbella, and New York. Roy
Grace, in a race against the clock to stop another killing,
has met his most dangerous adversary yet.
