Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is caught up in the murky world of human trafficking in Dead Tomorrow, by award-winning crime writer Peter James.

'One of the best crime writers in the business' – Karin Slaughter, author of Pretty Girls

The body of a missing boy is dredged from the seabed off the Sussex coast, missing vital organs. Soon after, two more bodies are found . . .

A teenager in Brighton will die if she does not receive an urgent transplant. When the health system threatens to let her down her mother takes drastic action and goes to an online broker in black-market organs. The broker can provide what she wants, but it will come at a price.

As Roy Grace investigates the recovered bodies, he unearths a gang of child traffickers operating from Eastern Europe. Soon Grace and his team will find themselves in a race against time to save the life of a young street kid, while a desperate mother will stop at nothing to save her daughter’s life . . .

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

Now a major ITV series, Grace, adapted for television by screenwriter Russell Lewis (Endeavour) and starring John Simm (Life on Mars).

Product description

Amazon Review

Despite his triumphs in a variety of endeavours (including film producer and horror novelist), Peter James’ current career as a writer of highly adroit crime novels has effortlessly assumed centre stage (James has long maintained that he was always essentially a crime writer). Such books as Not Dead Enough have revitalised the tired genre of the police procedural, powered by James’ sympathetically characterised copper Roy Grace. The author’s ace in the hole is, of course, his machine-tooled plotting, and that skill is well to the fore in Dead Tomorrow, quite the most authoritative entry in the series yet.

A teenager's body is recovered from the sea off the cost of Sussex, with vital organs excised. Two equally grim subsequent discoveries follow. At the same time, another teenager, Caitlinn Beckett, lies in a Brighton hospital; she will die if she is not the recipient of a liver transplant. The National Health Service cannot help, and Lynn, Catlinn's mothers, turns in desperation to clandestine sources. DS Roy Grace, on the trail of the killers of the dead teenagers, discovers a sinister cadre of Eastern European child traffickers. And here Peter James dispatches his usual peerless orchestration of suspense as two elements coalesce: can Roy Grace prevent another child death – and how far will the distraught Lynn Beckett go to save the life of her daughter?

Dead Simple, the first book in the Roy Grace series, immediately demonstrated that James was not content to simply reheat the clichés of the genre, and Looking Good Dead showed a similar willingness to reinvigorate the genre. Dead Tomorrow, the fifth entry, keeps up the momentum (with the usual vivid evocation of Roy Grace’s – and Peter James' – Brighton). Of course, if the police procedural field does nothing for you, there's nothing to say. But aficionados will be in seventh heaven. --Barry Forshaw

Review

Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business -- Karin Slaughter

Meticulous research gives his prose great authenticity . . . James manages to add enough surprises and drama that by the end you’re rooting for the police and really don’t know if they will finally get their men ― Sunday Express

James just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class series ― Independent on Sunday

Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures, and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives, as no English crime writer before him. His hero, Roy Grace, may not be the most lively cop, nor the most damaged by drink, weight or misery, but he's one of the most believable ― The Times

    5.0 out of 5 stars AN ERROR but 5 stars anyway
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2013
    Verified Purchase
    A tremendous read and a very scary story. How far will people go when there is a desperate medical need to save a loved one? How low can some people stoop in order to get rich on other people's distress? This story is an eye opener. Apparently there are people in the world who are so evil that they see fit to murder other people whom they feel are worthless in order to sell organs for transplant. I don't want to give away any more of the story. It is well worth reading this shocking and emotive book I recommend it.

    However I must bring up something I feel is an error. Location 1222-34 in the Kindle version we hear about someone who has been seriously injured in an accident. He is taken to hospital where he has all the usual tests to see if he is brain injured. It turns out in the story line that the accident victim scores badly in the tests.

    The problem I have is with this part of the story which I quote:-

    "he(the accident victim) was already in the CT unit, having a brain scan. If it had shown a blood clot he would have been transferred to the neurological unit at Hurstwood Park for surgery. But the scan had shown there was a massive internal haemorrhaging, which meant there is nothing surgical that could be done. It was a wait and see situation."

    Something similar happened to my husband. A scan at the Eastbourne DGH showed massive haemorrhaging in his brain. Immediate arrangements were made to transfer him to Hurstwood Park (the same neurological unit mentioned in the story) where he was admitted to the surgical ward. Here further tests showed that he had stabilized and after constant monitoring over the next few days it was decided that surgery was not required even though he was still seriously ill however they were ready to operate if his condition worsened. A young man in the next bed was the victim of a severe assault and he also suffered severe internal haemorrhaging, in his case it was decided that surgery was necessary to relieve the pressure on the brain. Thankfully both my husband and the young man survived and went home. The point I am making is that the sentence "there was massive internal haemorrhaging which meant that nothing surgical could be done" in my experience is not true. Over the next few weeks I met some remarkable people who had come through the most horrific brain trauma where surgery had relieved the build up of pressure. For these people "a wait and see situation" was not the answer, surgery was.

    At a follow up appointment the surgeon showed me my husband's scan and I was shocked but deeply thankful that he had come through something so dreadful. I guess that this is a matter close to my heart which is why I felt it worth mentioning.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Needs Polishing Up And English Spelling !!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2018

    This series is always super, and being based in Brighton, an area I know, I always enjoy them more than books set in places I've never been. However, I've mentioned this in other reviews of his books, and for me they cost them the 5*.....he persists in using American spellings and there are still these rogue hyphens plonked into words for no reason whatsoever. Probably formatting mistakes but I can't be the only person to ever notice these and an editor or proofreader should spot them just as easily as I do. It's THEIR job, not mine !! Whit-lock, Moor-house, bug-ger, encephalop-athy and Cell-mark.
    This story features a parent prepared to buy her ailing child an organ...I have to say, if she was my child I'd not bother wasting my money. She was a rude little cow !! As I read this story, especially from the Romanian perspective, we read of how they can come here and get a flat and job, etc....it makes me so glad of Brexit, I must say. Because of our flinging open the door policy in Europe, we've made it so easy for crimes like those featured here to take place. Yes, this is a work of fiction but this type of thing happens, and as one police officer ruminated, "the UK law enforcement agencies hadn't a clue who was here and who wasn't"....a scary proposition indeed.
    I did wonder what Jim did with his fee. That was never spotted nor mentioned which I found odd.
    There was quite a bit of repetition in this, too, I found, I don't think we needed to know how often people were wearing either fleeces or black suede boots. I spotted the odd apostrophe or speechmarks or words dropped from sentences, too. Bearing in mind, this is a bestseller, it should be better presented. However, he does at least explain his acronyms the first time he mentions them, which is extremely helpful.
    I will be sticking with the series, too, but unless the publishers sharpen their act up there won't be anymore 5* forthcoming from this reader, sadly.

    Einfach gut. Ich bin eine Leseratte und vergebe nur sehr selten 5 Sterne, aber dieses Buch hat es verdient.
    Ich kann mir zwar nicht vorstellen, dass die Entscheidungen darüber, wer als nächstes ein Organ bekommt, wirklich so ablaufen, aber für den Patienten mag es so wirken. Und auch die Information, von wem ein Organ kommt, ist absolut geheim. Klar kenne ich nur das Vorgehen bei Eurotransplant, aber das wird in GB nicht so viel anders sein. Aber ansonsten waren es nur wenige Goofs. Ein wirklich sehr spannendes Buch, welches ein sehr delikates Thema aufgreift.
