Dead Simple (Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, Bk. 1)

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace’s first major case begins with what was meant to be a harmless stag-night prank — but ends in disaster: the groom has vanished and his friends are dead. 

With only three days until the wedding, Grace is contacted by the groom’s distraught fiancée to uncover what really happened. 

As he investigates, Grace discovers that the one man who might know what went wrong is staying silent — but that silence could be driven by motives far darker than anyone expects.
