Description
Roy Grace, creation of the CWA Diamond Dagger award winning author Peter James, exposes the dark side of the internet in the fifteenth book in this bestselling series.
A man waits at a London airport for Ingrid Ostermann, the love of his life, to arrive. Across the Atlantic, a retired NYPD cop waits in a bar in Florida's Key West for his first date with the lady who is, without question, 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.
Meanwhile, a wealthy divorcée plunges, in suspicious circumstances, from an apartment block in Munich. In the same week, Detective Superintendent 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 Brighton motivational speaker comes forward. He's discovered his identity is being used to scam eleven different women online, after receiving a phone call from one of the women, 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. A global empire built on clever, cruel internet scams and the murder of anyone who threatens to expose them.

5 stars for me !!
Peter James has written another superior installment in the Roy Grace Series.
This time Roy tackles internet scams that effects a lot of seniors who lose everything to the scammers,; their pension, their savings, even their homes never to recoup a cent. Over 300 million dollars go to scammers every year.
You just have to cheer Roy on and his team to get these scammers. Familiar faces and new ones.
It is an eye opener and a cracking good story. The pages fly by, specially as Roy's team closes in to the culprits.
Peter James never disappoints. If you have not yet read a Roy Grace novel you are missing out. I feel like I know him.
Thanks to Net Galley and Pan MacMillian , MacMillian for the opportunity to spend a few hours in Roy Grace's world.

Dead at First Sight is Peter James’ fifteenth Roy Grace novel. You might think he’d be getting a little tired by now but you would most definitely be wrong. This story is actually very timely as it has Roy investigating internet dating fraud. But it’s so much more...people are losing their life savings, and those that ask too many questions are losing their lives. And Roy’s old nemesis is back. All the makings of an excellent mystery that will keep you interested to the last page. Highly recommended.
