Elsewhere in the city, when Tom Bryce finds a disc left on a train, he simply tries to do the right thing - return it to its owner. But this attempted act of kindness makes him the sole witness to that same vicious murder. Learning that Tom has made a statement to Grace's team, the killers have to act.

Reviews

I couldn't put it down -- Mark Timlin * Independent *
Sharply plotted, suitably sordid * Daily Express *
James dreams up a horrific intersection of extreme perversion and Internet technology in his frightening, expertly constructed second Det. Supt. Roy Grace novel . . . the rapid-fire suspense builds to a terrifying, graphic conclusion that leaves tantalizing room for future installments in the series * Publishers Weekly *
A sick website which features videos of people being murdered is at the dark heart of this razor-sharp crime thriller. Gripping but not for the faint-hearted * News of the World *
