Detective Superintendent Roy Grace exposes the dark side of internet dating in the intriguing crime novel Dead at First Sight, by award winning author Peter James.
A man waits at a London airport for the love of his life to arrive. Across the Atlantic, a retired cop waits in a bar in Florida's Key West for his first date with the lady who is his soulmate. The two men are about to discover they've been scammed out of almost every penny they have in the world - and that neither women exist.
In the same week, Roy Grace is called to investigate the suicide of a woman in Brighton, that is clearly not what it seems. As his investigations continue, a handsome motivational speaker comes forward. He's discovered his identity is being used to scam eleven different women online. The first he knew of it was a phone call from one of them saying, 'You don't know me, but I thought I knew you'.
That woman is now dead.
Roy Grace realizes he is looking at the tip of an iceberg. Can he bring down the murderous global empire built on clever, cruel internet scams?
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Dead at First Sight is the fifteenth title in the bestselling series. Discover more of the Brighton detective's investigations with Find Them Dead and Left You Dead.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

The latest race-against-time instalment of the award-winning Grace series, now a major ITV show.
Hunting him would be murder . . .
When James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the back of the small church. But, as the service progresses, Taylor notices a man six rows in front of him. At first he thinks he must be mistaken, but the more he looks at the man, the more convinced Taylor becomes that this is his old schoolfriend Rufus Rorke.
Except it couldn't be him, could it? Because two years ago Taylor attended Rufus Rorke's funeral. He even delivered Rufus's eulogy.
On the other side of Brighton, at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he can't get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And how could they possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?
Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be.
