false 6061545 4 Despite his triumphs in a variety of endeavours (including film producer and horror novelist), Peter James’ current career as a writer of highly adroit crime novels has effortlessly assumed centre stage (James has long maintained that he was always essentially a crime writer). Such books as <i>Not Dead Enough</i> have revitalised the tired genre of the police procedural, powered by James’ sympathetically characterised copper Roy Grace. The author’s ace in the hole is, of course, his machine-tooled plotting, and that skill is well to the fore in<i> Dead Tomorrow</i>, quite the most authoritative entry in the series yet.<p> A teenager's body is recovered from the sea off the cost of Sussex, with vital organs excised. Two equally grim subsequent discoveries follow. At the same time, another teenager, Caitlinn Beckett, lies in a Brighton hospital; she will die if she is not the recipient of a liver transplant. The National Health Service cannot help, and Lynn, Catlinn's mothers, turns in desperation to clandestine sources. DS Roy Grace, on the trail of the killers of the dead teenagers, discovers a sinister cadre of Eastern European child traffickers. And here Peter James dispatches his usual peerless orchestration of suspense as two elements coalesce: can Roy Grace prevent another child death – and how far will the distraught Lynn Beckett go to save the life of her daughter?<p><i>Dead Simple</i>, the first book in the Roy Grace series, immediately demonstrated that James was not content to simply reheat the clichés of the genre, and <i>Looking Good Dead</i> showed a similar willingness to reinvigorate the genre. <i> Dead Tomorrow</i>, the fifth entry, keeps up the momentum (with the usual vivid evocation of Roy Grace’s – and Peter James' – Brighton). Of course, if the police procedural field does nothing for you, there's nothing to say. But aficionados will be in seventh heaven. --<I>Barry Forshaw</I> 6237750 5 6 2009 Dead Tomorrow total:15|5:7|4:7|3:1|2:0|1:0| 15 66 30 6 5 0 false false Sun Apr 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 11:40:20 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 11:44:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jul 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 19:33:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 19:36:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Apr 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 08:56:02 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 08:58:09 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 22 13:50:42 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 13:52:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 09:30:29 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 09:31:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 11:36:12 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 14:07:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 28 02:14:42 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 10:56:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 27 14:49:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 27 14:49:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 26 12:03:01 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 12:03:57 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 14:29:48 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 14:29:48 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 30 09:23:50 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 09:23:57 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 19:36:54 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 19:36:54 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Oct 20 06:24:31 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 15:03:41 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 15:03:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 13:49:29 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 13:49:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 16:46:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 16:46:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 08:31:09 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 08:31:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 17:25:31 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 17:25:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Aug 27 13:42:07 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 13:42:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 11:57:15 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 11:57:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 08:22:32 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 08:22:32 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6061545
