Synopsis
It was meant to be a harmless stag night prank. A few hours later, four of his best friends are dead and Michael Harrison has disappeared. With only three days to the wedding, Detective Superintendent Grace - a man haunted by the shadow of his own missing wife - is contacted by Michael's beautiful, distraught fiancee, Ashley Harper. Grace discovers that the one man who ought to know Michael Harrison's whereabouts is saying nothing. But then he has a lot to gain - more than anyone realizes. For one man's disaster is another man's fortune..."James has got the gift for turning mind-stretching subjects into novels that are irresistibly readable as well as utterly believable" - Robert Goddard. "A brilliant idea, superbly crafted. A terrific page-turner" - James Herbert. "A page-turner of a book with some terrifying twists...a very satisfying read" - George Baker, Inspector Wexford.

Review
This is the first book of the Inspecter Grace series. As the cover says four bodies, one suspect, no trace.
This story has you hanging on the edge of your seat, because it starts of in the most simple way five lads out on a stag night. But it all goes wrong when they have been out around a number of pubs and the four friends decide to put the bride groom in a coffin and bury him. Thinking they will go back in a couple of hours and rescure him. But this does not happen because they are all killed, when their transit van is involved in an accident, when leaving the place where they have left Michael buried. So the plot thickens and DS Grace is set the task of finding the lost bridegroom.
I loved this first book in the series and Peter James definitely knows how to tell a good crime story.
