read by Neil PearsonPeter James's DS Roy Grace is a hard-working policeman with a tragic personal past, but it is his professional past which haunts him in this taut, impressive policier.
With brilliant twists and exemplary characterization, James provides a thoroughly entertaining three hours of drama - expertly narrated by the excellent Neil Pearson, one of the best voices in audiobooks, just as he is one of the classiest actors on small and big screens.
If you are looking for a holiday CD to take your mind off your own troubles, sharing Grace's investigation is a faultless example of just why audio is the fastest-growing sector in contemporary publishing.
