Dead Simple (Roy Grace)

Product Information

There is something to be mined here about how personal desperation can evolve into professional upheaval. Grace’s wife, it is revealed, also disappeared seemingly into the mist on his 40th birthday, and he must now contend with a perpetual series of What Ifs: What if she’s dead? What if she’s alive? What if she chose to leave? What if she didn’t? In turn, the bombastic lunacy of “Dead Simple” can be seen as a manifestation of the character’s worst case scenario free-floating anxieties. What if, in the hideous world of endless possibilities and no answers, his wife was somehow buried in a coffin and left to die in the woods? Not even his case, Detective Roy Grace, haunted by the disappearance of his wife years ago, finds himself trying to put the pieces together. One of those pieces, Mark Warren, best man to Michael, who if it wasn’t for a trip would’ve been dead also, is acting very peculiar and considering him not knowing anything about the prank makes it hard to believe that someone so close doesn’t know anything. Upon working deeper in the case, things are just not adding up. Was it a accident or foul play, this one prank set in motion a series of events that leads the reader down a gripping, suspenseful narrative that is unpredictable and satisfies the thirst of a great suspense plot. It was meant to be a harmless stag-night prank. But a few hours later, the groom has disappeared and his friends are dead. The author is famous for his fast-paced and gripping stories that thrust regular people into extraordinary situations.
