After his secondment in London's Met Police ends, Roy Grace is back in Sussex and right in the middle of a murder case. Five years after the car crash that killed her husband and son, Meg Magellan feels she has her life back together. When she receives a summons for jury service, she feels this will help distract her from constantly worrying about her daughter, Laura, who his travelling overseas. But when she is selected for the trial of a major Brighton drugs overlord, everything changes. Gradually, Grace's investigation draws him into the sinister sphere of influence of the man on trial, a man prepared to order the death of anyone to enable him to walk free. Arriving home late one night, Meg finds a photograph lying on her kitchen table of Laura, in Ecuador. Then the phone rings. The caller tells her that if she ever wants to see Laura alive again, all she has to do is make sure the jury says just two words... not guilty.
