Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself entangled in the murky realm of human trafficking in the gripping novel "Dead Tomorrow" by acclaimed crime writer Peter James. This novel is considered one of the best works of crime literature, as praised by Karin Slaughter, the author of "Pretty Girls." The story begins with the discovery of a missing boy's body, which has been retrieved from the seabed off the Sussex coast, missing vital organs. Shortly after, two more bodies are found in similar circumstances.

A teenager in Brighton is facing a dire situation as she requires an urgent transplant to save her life. However, the health system threatens to let her down, leaving her mother with no choice but to turn to an online broker in the black-market organ trade. The broker can provide the necessary organ, but at a steep price.

As Roy Grace delves into the investigation of the recovered bodies, he uncovers a gang of child traffickers operating from Eastern Europe. With time running out, Grace and his team find themselves in a race against time to save the life of a young street kid, while a desperate mother will stop at nothing to save her daughter's life.

While the Roy Grace novels can be enjoyed in any order, "Dead Tomorrow" is the fifth thrilling installment in the bestselling series. For those who wish to explore more of the Brighton detective's investigations, "Dead Like You" and "Dead Mans Grip" are excellent choices.

In addition to being a captivating novel, "Dead Tomorrow" has also been adapted for television. The ITV series, "Grace," is based on the novel and was adapted for television by screenwriter Russell Lewis (known for his work on "Endeavour") and starring John Simm (known for his role in "Life on Mars"). The series has received critical acclaim and has become a major hit with viewers.

Overall, "Dead Tomorrow" is a must-read for fans of crime fiction and those who enjoy thrilling suspense stories. It is a testament to the talent of Peter James and his ability to create complex and compelling characters.
