Información de este libro electrónico
Cuando el estafador Ronnie Wilson ve cómo se desmoronan las torres gemelas en Nueva York, sus pensamientos no están con los miles de víctimas, ni con la sobrecogida ciudad escenario de los atentados terroristas. En lugar de eso él se encuentra con la oportunidad de su vida: librarse de sus deudas, desaparecer y reinventarse a sí mismo en otro país. En Brighton, el protagonista de esta serie de novelas, Roy Grace investiga la aparición del esqueleto de una mujer en las costas de Brighton, lo que no hace más que despertar sus propios fantasmas: la desaparición de su propia esposa nunca esclarecida. Cuando se descubre que el cadáver es el de la esposa del estafador Wilson, la investigación se complica para Grace.

- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5another good read
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5Sometimes it pays to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Dodgy British businessman Ronnie Wilson can't believe what he is witnessing. It is nearly 9 am on September 11, 2001. He is seriously late for his meeting with Donald Hatcook on the 87th floor of New York World Trade Center's South Tower. And the South Tower is disintegrating before his eyes. But he doesn't see tragedy. He sees opportunity.Six years on, October 2007, in Brighton, England, a female body has turned up in a storm drain on Detective Superintendent Roy Grace's patch. It bears an uncanny resemblance to Grace's missing wife Sandy. Almost simultaneously, half way across the world, a second female body is discovered in a lake near Melbourne, Australia.In an echo of what must have happened ever so briefly on 9/11, Abby Dawson is trapped in a malfunctioning lift in Brighton. The lift feels as if it is dangling by a single cable and her cries for help are going unheeded.Before long Roy Grace, newly promoted to head up Major crimes finds himself managing an investigation that spans three continents. This is #4 in the series that focuses on the English seaside town of Brighton, although in DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS, the town merely provides the background. These four books really are a series with continuing characters, and narrative threads that bind them together. James is truly creating a world about DS Grace: the threats to his authority, the people he has to work with, his personal life. I'm the sort of reader who likes to read a developing series in order, but this novel could also be read and enjoyed as a stand alone.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5This is a fast paced crime thriller, set in Brighton. The are three or four intriguing plot threads all brought together for a thrilling finale at Beachy Head. While I love the murder mystery element of the book and the detail that goes into the plotting, I'm getting a bit tired of the anti political correctness message. And I have also started to notice how all the female characters are described in terms of how good looking they are, which isn't great either.
- Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas3/5One of those stories with parallel time lines, with part of the action set in September 2001 in New York, part in October 2007 in Brighton with characters crossing from one to the other. Whilst this scenario is quite clever I didn't feel it quite came off. Superintendent Roy Grace is again the main character and Supt Cassian Pewe, who first appears in a previous book, makes another appearance, but doesn't really ring true as a character. Overall not up to previous standards in my opinion.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5Definitely a first for me with Roy Grace the character and Peter James as the author.For a change the novel is based out of UK.. Its gripping and definitely a thriller keeping you on tenterhook!!!!
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5Quick easy read - enjoyable enough break from the fantasy series I'm immersed in.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5This is a story of multiple threads and as you read the chapters, you wonder what they could possibly have to do with each other. Each incident is a story in itself and I didn't know what to expect. This author is excellent at running different storylines, bringing them all to a page turning end. Very appropriate title.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/53.5 Stars. This was an ingenious plot but for me it was too long and at points you felt like saying get on with it. That aside I di enjoy the book. If it had just got on with it I would have given it 4 stars.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5The fourth in his DS Roy Grace series, Dead Man’s Footsteps by Peter James continues the high standard of the series. Although so far none of the books has matched the high suspense level that the first book delivered, this one comes close. The series is classed as a police procedural, but these have the added bonus of being fast paced with thrilling plots that keep the pages flying by. Roy Grace is a complex character with a strong work ethic and although he has his problems with one superior, and jealousy is an issue with another, overall he is a well respected member of the Sussex Police. Working and living in Brighton, Roy’s main issues stem from his past and his wife who disappeared without a trace over nine years ago. Although he is trying to move on and develop new relationships, having a missing person case of this nature plays havoc with his personal life. Dead Man’s Footsteps deals with how Ronnie Wilson, a shady businessman, took advantage of having scheduled a meeting at the World Trade Center in New York on the morning of September 11, 2001. Now, years later, bodies are beginning to surface - one in Brighton and one in Australia - that have connections to Ronnie Wilson. DS Grace and his team are beginning to suspect that perhaps Ronnie survived 9/11. Meanwhile, a young woman is in hiding in Brighton, but her nemesis has found her and now she is fighting for her life. As the tension mounts, the police seem to be moving ever so closer to putting the pieces together and we can see these storylines start to merge.I felt a little like I was riding a rollercoaster as the book seemed to move faster and faster as we drew to the end. With many a twist and turn this is a genuine thriller and I am already looking forward to the next book in the series.
- Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas5/5I often wondered if anyone near the Trade Center buildings on 9/11 ever thought of how easy it would be to start over. I thought it would make a great plot and James obviously thought the same thing. Ronnie Wilson has the proverbial black thumb. Everything he touches puts him deeper in debt. He wages everything on a meeting with a friend in one of the towers and watches in horror as the tower where he is to meet crumbles to the ground. At first he is furious because it was his last ditch effort to make it. But then he sees it as a chance to start over. James bounces from 9/11 to current day as a young woman is stalked by a man who believes she has something that belongs to him. Roy Grace’s investigation sends him to New Your while others in his department work the case of the stalked woman. Meanwhile Grace continues to wonder what happened to his wife, Sandy, who disappeared nine years ago. Another well-crafted chapter from across the pond.
