About this listen
A long-lost masterpiece sparks deadly violence – and sets Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on the path of a caclulating killer. Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in Picture You Dead by Peter James.
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 listened to in any order, Picture You Dead is the nineteenth title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Find Them Dead and Left You Dead.

Another excellent listen
Peter James is certainly not running short of ideas for DS Grace & Co. A gripping plot. Excellent narration. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

Didn’t disappoint
I’ve read/listened to all the Roy Grace books but have found some of the later ones a bit hit and miss and not up to Peter James’s usual standard. In this one however, he’s back on top form. The story was strong and the narration was, as usual, first class. I finished it in two days and thoroughly enjoyed it.
