Peter James' bestselling Roy Grace series of crime novels is made all the more compelling by his in-depth research into the work of Brighton and Hove police, and he sets them in a world every bit as gritty as the real thing. Now, he and Graham Bartlett, a long-serving detective and Commander of the city for four years, have written a gripping account of Brighton's most challenging modern cases, many of which Bartlett helped solve.
Death Comes Knocking takes the reader on a vivid journey from crime scenes and incident rooms to the morgue. Along the way we are introduced to some of the real-life detectives who inspired Peter James's characters. We read about the horrific murder of a dodgy nightclub owner and his family and see how the police tracked down the antique trade's most notorious 'knocker boys', nailed an audacious ring of forgers and hunted a cold-blooded killer who executed a surfer.
Skilfully evoking the dangers of policing a city once described as Britain's crime capital, the authors also share the personal toll the job takes and the dedication and professionalism of those who risk their lives to keep the public safe.
