Fans of Peter James and his bestselling Roy Grace series of crime novels know that his books draw on in-depth research into the lives of Brighton and Hove police and are set in a world every bit as gritty as the real thing. His friend Graham Bartlett was a long-serving detective in the city once described as Britain's'crime capital'. Together,in Death Comes Knocking,they have written a gripping account of the city's most challenging cases,taking the reader from crime scenes and incident rooms to the morgue,and introducing some of the real-life detectives who inspired Peter James's characters.Whether it's the murder of a dodgy nightclub owner and his family in Sussex's worst non-terrorist mass murder or the race to find the abductor of a young girl,tracking down the antique trade's most notorious'knocker boys'or nailing an audacious ring of forgers,hunting for a cold-blooded killer who executed a surfer or catching a pair who kidnapped a businessman,leaving him severely beaten,to die on a hillside,the authors skilfully evoke the dangerous inside story of policing,the personal toll it takes and the dedication of those who risk their lives to keep the public safe.
