Summary

The discovery of a woman's body and a link to the events of 9/11 takes Detective Superintendent Roy Grace around the world in Dead Man's Footsteps, by award winning crime author Peter James, read by actor Neil Pearson.

Amid the tragic mayhem of the morning of 9/11, failed Brighton businessman and ne'er-do-well Ronnie Wilson sees the chance of a lifeline: to shed his debts, disappear and reinvent himself in another country.

Six years later the discovery of the skeletal remains of a woman's body in a storm drain in Brighton leads Roy Grace on an enquiry spanning the globe, and into a desperate race against time to save the life of a woman being hunted down like an animal in the streets and alleys of Brighton.

Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Dead Man's Footsteps is the fourth gripping title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Tomorrow and Dead Like You.

Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

Still confused even though I've finished the book!

Listened to this as I'd listened rest to rest of series so far.
Found this very confusing.
Got to end and I'm still confused who characters are. It might be me!
Also some bits throughout made no sense.
At one point a girl had gone into police station, then she was on a train, then back at police station.
I've tried listening to full version of these books but they drag on for ages with very little action.
The abridged version though seems to miss out important bits.
I'm done with this now, I'm not buying any more of this series.
Neil Pearson however is excellent as narrator. Really enjoyed listening to him.
