The return of a Brighton girl turned movie star spells nothing but trouble for Detective Superintendent Roy Grace in the eighth book in Peter James's bestselling crime series. Now a major television series on Britbox, Grace stars John Simm and Richie Campbell.

Gaia Lafayette has a movie to shoot back home and Grace is in charge of her security. Yet when a vicious gangster is released from prison and an unidentifiable headless torso is found, a nightmare unfolds before Grace's eyes.

An obsessed stalker is after Gaia - and Grace knows that they may be at large in his city, waiting, watching, planning their next move.
