Dead Simple (Detective Superintendent Roy Grace)

If there is one place Michael Harrison never expected to die, it's in his own grave.

When Michael Harrison's four best friends leave him buried alive on the night of his bachelor party, it seems like the perfect payback for his own bachelor party pranks. But moments later the four are killed in a car crash, and suddenly their harmless joke is no laughing matter. 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 fiancée, 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. Dead simple.
