Abstract: Naomi è un’esperta velista che parte per in solitaria per incontrare il suo fidanzato Jackson (Westwick) a Grenada. Ma il tranquillo viaggio di tre giorni a bordo dello yacht di 47 piedi The Serenity prende una svolta inaspettata quando una tempesta la costringe a uscire dalla rotta pianificata. Circumnavigando un’isola disabitata bordata di barriere coralline, risponde a un segnale di soccorso per aiutare una nave in avaria e trova tre sopravvissuti. Gli eventi prendono presto una piega inquietante quando scopre che i sopravvissuti sono trafficanti di droga, e quando la costringono a tuffarsi per recuperare 850 chili di cocaina dallo scafo del relitto affondato, purtroppo circondato da squali tigre in frenesia alimentare, attirati dai cadaveri in acqua.

Abstract: ‘Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world.’ - Lee Child, author of The Jack Reacher series A long-lost masterpiece sparks deadly violence – and sets Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on the path of a calculating killer. Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in Picture You Dead. Now a major ITV drama starring John Simm as Roy Grace. Harry and Freya, an ordinary couple, dreamed for years of finding something priceless buried amongst the tat in a car boot sale. It was a dream they knew in their hearts would never come true – until the day it did . . . They buy a drab portrait for twenty pounds for its beautiful frame, planning to cut the painting out. Then, studying it back at home, there seems to be another picture beneath, of a stunning landscape. Could it be a long-lost masterpiece from 1770? If genuine, it could be worth millions. One collector is certain it is genuine. Someone who uses any method he can to get what he wants. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into the unfamiliar and rarefied world of fine art. Outwardly it appears respectable, gentlemanly, above reproach. But beneath the veneer, he rapidly finds that greed, deception and violence walk hand-in-hand. And Harry and Freya are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare . . . Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Picture You Dead is the eighteenth title in the bestselling series.
