Four lives collide in one moment of a series of seemingly harmless mistakes. A single mother that had a little too much to drink the night before...a truck (lorry) driver that has exceeded his hours in his desire to get back to his pregnant girlfriend... a man with a less than stellar reputation driving a van, and an American college student riding his bicycle on the wrong side of the road by mistake. One is now dead and the others are paying the highest price possible for what was an accident because the dead American student is the grandson of a New York crime family determined to bring down vengeance even though two of the people are innocent.
This award winning seventh book in the Roy Grace series introduces us to a cast of interesting characters. Some are not so likable...some are down right evil and some are just doing their jobs...but all are a great addition to a fast moving story line. Peter James has created a group of police officers that are unquestionably dedicated and care about the responsibility they have to the people they have sworn to protect. The Roy Grace books are undoubtedly one of the best police procedural series on today's market. Highly recommend them as I haven't read a bad or mediocre one yet.
