From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes an explosive standalone thriller that will grip you and won't let go until the very last page. Investigative reporter Ross Hunter nearly didn't answer the phone call that would change his life - and possibly the world - for ever. `I'd just like to assure you I'm not a nutcase, Mr Hunter. 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 . . .

In the latest thriller from bestselling author Peter James, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces a formidable foe—an enraged man with everything to lose. The story begins in New York, 1922, where five-year-old Gavin Daly and his sister, Aileen, are escaping to Dublin after their mother is murdered and their father, an Irish mobster, is abducted. Just before boarding the SS Mauretania, Gavin receives a mysterious note with four names and eleven numbers, along with his father's pocket watch. As the ship departs, he vows to return and find his father one day. Fast forward to Brighton, 2012, where Grace investigates a brutal burglary that leaves an elderly woman dead and £10 million worth of antiques stolen, including a rare vintage watch. Surprisingly, the family is less concerned about the antiques than recovering the watch. As Grace delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of old and new animosities, all leading back to Gavin Daly, now a ninety-five-year-old man with a vendetta and a promise to fulfill. This quest intertwines the antique world of Brighton with the crime underbelly of Marbella, Spain, and New York, putting Grace in a race against time to prevent further bloodshed against his most dangerous adversary yet.

John and Naomi are grieving the death of their four-year-old son from a rare genetic disorder. They desperately want another child, but they realize the odds of their next child contracting the same disease are high. Then they hear about geneticist Dr Leo Dettore. He has methods that can spare them the heartache of ever losing another child to any disease. At his clinic is where their nightmare begins. They should have realized something was wrong when they saw the list. Choices of eye colour, hair, sporting abilities. They can literally design their child. Now it's too late to turn back. Naomi is pregnant and already something is badly wrong . . .

Brighton. La bellissima Abby Dawson è intrappolata nell'ascensore di un lussuoso condominio. Ci resterà per tutto il weekend. Nessuno sente le sue grida di aiuto, nessuno sa che è tornata in città: Abby sta scappando, e forse è già stata trovata. In un cantiere viene scoperto il cadavere di una donna, e vicino Melbourne riaffiora dalle acque di un fiume un'altra vittima strangolata e rinchiusa nel cofano di un'auto. Gli indizi dall'Australia puntano dritto al Sussex, e i risultati dell'autopsia sul primo ritrovamento sembrano condurre al soprintendente Roy Grace. Il collega Cassian Pewe non aspettava altro: poter indagare Roy Grace, metterlo in cattiva luce di fronte all'affiatata squadra omicidi e accusarlo della scomparsa della moglie Sandy fin troppo simile a uno dei corpi rinvenuti. Stessa corporatura, stessa età, stesso colore di capelli. Forse Grace ha qualcosa da nascondere, oltre ai libri di filosofia per essere all'altezza della sua nuova donna, forse tutti abbiamo una doppia identità, e nessuno è davvero chi dice di essere, come Ronnie Wilson, un uomo senza scrupoli le cui tracce si perdono in un appuntamento fissato in un ufficio della Torre Sud del World Trade Center, l'11 settembre 2001...
