Books Included in This Collection:
Dead Man's Grip
A brutal robbery at a secluded Brighton mansion pulls Detective Superintendent Roy Grace into a case that feels personal from the outset. An elderly resident fights for her life as riches vanish, weaving a web of motive and fear that tests Grace’s judgment and his capacity to protect the vulnerable. The tension escalates as Grace unravels secrets buried beneath the surface of a close-knit community, delivering one of James’s characteristic, twist-laden investigations that keep you turning pages long into the night.

Not Dead Yet
The return of a familiar face—Gaia Lafayette, a university student turned movie star—forces Grace to manage high-profile security against the backdrop of public scrutiny. As paparazzi glare collides with real danger, trust becomes scarce and every decision echoes beyond the set. James blends cinematic suspense with gritty realism, delivering a story about loyalty, fame’s pressures, and the lengths one man will go to keep someone safe when the world is watching.

Dead Man's Time
The past casts a long shadow over Grace as a current case collides with long-buried memories. A devastating robbery at a Brighton mansion sets off a chain of events that reverberate through Grace’s personal life, forcing him to confront how history informs the present. With brisk pacing and moral ambiguity intact, this entry deepens the series’ signature interrogation of justice, guilt, and the costs of protecting those we love.

Want You Dead
Grace’s world is unsettled by a marriage, a missing wife, and a decade-old mystery that refuses to stay buried. The tension rises as long-buried secrets resurface, and the line between protector and prosecutor blurs. James keeps the stakes high with a relentless pursuit of truth and a constant undercurrent of danger, making this installment a compulsive, heart-pounding continuation of the Roy Grace storyline.

You Are Dead
Grace confronts his city’s first serial killer in over eighty years, a chilling pursuit that threads multiple lives together through fear and fascination. A series of young women vanish, each found bearing a cruel mark—“U R Dead.” The investigation races forward amid claustrophobic tension and ethical complexities, offering a stark look at the cost of predatory crime and the resilience needed to stop it.

Love You Dead
Grace is newly married and adjusting to a quieter home life with his partner and child, until a twist from the past returns with life-changing implications. The rhythm of domestic happiness is interrupted by a revelation that tests trust and resilience. James rounds out the collection with a blend of domestic suspense and procedural craft, ensuring the Roy Grace arc remains as gripping and emotionally charged as ever.
