Roy Grace, creation from the CWA Diamond Dagger award being successful author Peter Wayne, encounters his most mysterious case yet in Want You Dead.

Lorna Belling, desperate to escape the relationship from hell, falls for the charms of another man who promises her the planet earth. But, as Lorna discovers, life seldom follows the plans you’ve made. A chance picture on a client’s cellular phone adjustments everything for her.

When the body of a female is situated in a shower in Brighton, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is called towards the scene. Initially it looks an open up and shut case using a clear prime suspect. Then other scenarios start to provide themselves, all of them tantalizingly plausible, until, in an abrupt turn of events, and to his utter disbelief, the situation turns even more sinister than Sophistication could ever have imagined.
