Dead Man’s Footsteps

The discovery of a woman’s body and a link to the events of 9/11 takes Detective Superintendent Roy Grace around the world in Dead Man’s Footsteps, by award winning crime author Peter James.

Amid the tragic mayhem of the morning of 9/11, failed Brighton businessman and ne’er-do-well Ronnie Wilson sees the chance of a lifeline: to shed his debts, disappear and reinvent himself in another country.

Six years later the discovery of the skeletal remains of a woman’s body in a storm drain in Brighton leads Roy Grace on an enquiry spanning the globe, and into a desperate race against time to save the life of a woman being hunted down like an animal in the streets and alleys of Brighton.

Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Dead Man’s Footsteps is the fourth gripping title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Tomorrow and Dead Like You.

Now a major BRITBOX series, Grace, starring John Simm.
