Roy Elegance, creation of the award-winning author Peter James, exposes the dark part of the internet in Dead at First Sight.

You don’t know me, but I thought I knew you .

A man waits at a London airport for Ingrid Ostermann, the love of his lifestyle, to arrive. Across the Atlantic, a retired NYPD cop waits in a bar in Florida’s Essential Western world for his first date with the lady who’s, without query, his soulmate. Both men are about to discover they are scammed out of almost every penny they about Dead at First View have got in the world – which neither women can be found.

Meanwhile, a wealthy divorcée plunges, in suspicious circumstances, from a flat stop in Munich. In the same week, Detective Superintendent Roy Sophistication is called to research the suicide of a female in Brighton, that’s clearly not really what it seems. As his investigations continue, a good looking Brighton motivational loudspeaker comes forward. He’s found out his identity has been used to scam eleven different females, online. The initial he knew of it had been a phone call from one of them, out of nowhere, saying, ‘You have no idea me, but I believed I knew you’.

That woman is now dead.

Roy Sophistication realizes he’s looking at the end of the iceberg. A worldwide empire constructed on clever, cruel internet scams as well as the murder of anyone who threatens to expose them.
