Praise for the Roy Grace series:
'Such a skill to write so gripping a detective story, but also deal with really serious issues and it not get preachy. Masterful, Mr James!' -- Kate Mosse

 

'British author James dreams up a horrific intersection of extreme perversion and Internet technology in his frighteningly, 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 (starred review)
               
'James has got the gift for turning mind-stretching subjects into novels that are irresistibly readable as well as utterly believable.' -- Robert Goddard

 

'A brilliant idea, superbly crafted. A terrific page-turner.' -- James Herbert

 

'Memorable characters and nail-biting tension...a terrifying "it could happen to you" thriller.' -- Kathy Reichs

 

'A sense of place worthy of Raymond Chandler, plots both as tight and labyrinthine as those of Dashiell Hammett and a hero worthy of any of them...what a relief to finally find a book which it is well nigh literally impossible to put down.' -- Julie Burchill
