In the latest thriller from bestselling author Peter James, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces a formidable foe—an enraged man with everything to lose. The story begins in New York, 1922, where five-year-old Gavin Daly and his sister, Aileen, are escaping to Dublin after their mother is murdered and their father, an Irish mobster, is abducted. Just before boarding the SS Mauretania, Gavin receives a mysterious note with four names and eleven numbers, along with his father's pocket watch. As the ship departs, he vows to return and find his father one day.
Fast forward to Brighton, 2012, where Grace investigates a brutal burglary that leaves an elderly woman dead and £10 million worth of antiques stolen, including a rare vintage watch. Surprisingly, the family is less concerned about the antiques than recovering the watch. As Grace delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of old and new animosities, all leading back to Gavin Daly, now a ninety-five-year-old man with a vendetta and a promise to fulfill. This quest intertwines the antique world of Brighton with the crime underbelly of Marbella, Spain, and New York, putting Grace in a race against time to prevent further bloodshed against his most dangerous adversary yet.
