Una mujer (Katie Bishop) de clase acomodada ha sido asesinada en Brighton y su marido (Brian Bishop) no parece ser capaz de recordar mucho, como por ejemplo tener una amante (Sophie Harrington) a quien supuestamente visito mientras su esposa fallecia y quien, por tanto, podria servirle de coartada. Pero Brian no recuerda muchas cosas. Ni tener un romance extramarital ni haber matado a esa misma amante, convirtiendola en la segunda victima de un asesino en serie que parece tener demasiadas cosas en comun con Brian Bishop. Tanto en comun que toda la novela gira en torno a una unica idea: El 71 por ciento de las victimas de homicidio fueron asesinadas por alguien a quien conocian, porque aparentemente es una linda cuidad costera, pero cuenta con un inframundo criminal a la altura de Loa Angeles o Londres. Ese asesino en serie se hace llamar a si mismo El Millonario de Tiempo, dada la extraordinaria capacidad que tiene para invertir cuantas horas sean necesarias como para conocer en profundidad los habitos de sus nuevas victimas. Ademas, ese homicida tiene su propia firma: pone una mascara antigas de la II Guerra Mundial en el rostro de las mujeres a quienes mata. Eso sin olvidar otras formas de actuar que tal vez acaben por delatarlo: En los bolsillos con cremallera de la chaqueta, ademas de la cartera y el movil, llevaba un rollo de cinta adhesiva plateada, un cuchillo, cloroformo y un frasco de Rohypnol, la droga fulminante llamada tambien de la violacion. Y otras cosas nunca se sabia cuando iba a necesitarlas. Un nuevo caso del Inspector Roy Grace.

The police advise Carly her only option is to go into hiding and change identity. The terrified woman disagrees - she knows these people have ways of hunting you down anywhere.

A week later, another woman is attacked. Both victims' shoes are taken by the offender...Detective Superintendent Roy Grace soon realises that these new cases bear remarkable similarities to an unsolved series of crimes in the city back in 1997.

When more women are assaulted, Grace becomes increasingly certain that they are dealing with the same man. And that by delving back into the past - a time in which we see Grace and his missing wife Sandy still apparently happy together - he may find the key to unlocking the current mystery. Soon Grace and his team will find themselves in a desperate race against the clock to identify and save the life of the new sixth victim...

My name is Dr Harry F. Cook. I know this is going to sound strange, but I've recently been given absolute proof of God's existence - and I've been advised there is a writer, a respected journalist called Ross Hunter, who could help me to get taken seriously.' What would it take to prove the existence of God? And what would be the consequences? This question and its answer lie at the heart of Absolute Proof, an international thriller from bestselling author Peter James. The false faith of a billionaire evangelist, the life's work of a famous atheist, and the credibility of each of the world's major religions are all under threat. If Ross Hunter can survive long enough to present the evidence . . .

Then a journalist comes to Monty's door, with a far-fetched story about the pharmaceutical company.
