In the latest thriller from international bestselling author Peter James, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces a formidable opponent—a man fueled by rage and desperation. The story begins in New York, 1922, where five-year-old Gavin Daly and his sister, Aileen, are escaping to Dublin after their mother is murdered and their mobster father is kidnapped. A mysterious messenger gives Gavin a note with four names and eleven numbers, along with his father's pocket watch, setting him on a lifelong quest to find his father. Fast forward to Brighton in 2012, where Grace is investigating a brutal burglary that results in the murder of an elderly woman and the theft of £10 million worth of antiques, including a rare watch. Surprisingly, the family is less concerned about the antiques than recovering the watch. As Grace delves deeper, he uncovers a web of old and new animosities, all linked to Gavin Daly, the deceased woman's ninety-five-year-old brother. With a vendetta to fulfill and a promise to keep, Gavin's quest intertwines with the dark underbelly of Brighton's antiques scene, the criminal world of Marbella, and the shadows of New York. Grace must race against time to prevent further bloodshed, confronting his most dangerous adversary yet.
