Synopses

Dead Like You

At Brighton’s Metropole Hotel, a woman is attacked after a New Year’s Eve ball, and another assault follows a week later. In both cases, the offender takes the victims’ shoes. Roy Grace recognises similarities to an unsolved series of crimes from 1997.

Dead Man's Grip

A university student dies in a traffic accident while riding a bicycle. When two of the drivers involved are later hunted down by a sadistic killer, Grace believes the third driver, Carly Chase, may be next.

Not Dead Yet

Gaia Lafayette returns home to shoot a film, with Grace responsible for her security. When a gangster is released from prison and a headless torso is discovered, events escalate. An obsessed stalker is targeting Gaia, and Grace suspects they could be in his city, watching and planning.

Dead Man's Time

Grace races against the clock along a murderous trail that takes him from England’s antiques world across Europe. The investigation also reaches back to gang struggles on the New York waterfront in 1922. He pursues a killer driven by greed and fury.

Want You Dead

After a decade missing, Grace’s wife Sandy is officially declared dead, allowing him to marry the mother of his baby son. However, Sandy’s disappearance remains unexplained for a reason. Bryce Laurent does not want his ex-girlfriend to move on.
