Michael Harrison had it all: good looks, charm, natural leadership, a wicked sense of humor, and now, Ashley, his fiancee. While out celebrating with a group of friends a few nights before the wedding, Michael suddenly and unexpectedly finds himself enclosed in a coffin equipped only with a flashlight, a dirty magazine, a walkie-talkie, and a tiny breathing tube. It's all in good fun -- payback for the grief his mates suffered due to his own penchant for tomfoolery -- that is until the four are killed in a drunk driving accident just moments after leaving Michael completely alone and buried alive.

Detective Superintendent Grace--himself dealing with the pain of losing his wife--is brought on to the case when Ashley reports Michael missing. Suspicions are raised when Michael's only friend not at the bachelor party refuses to cooperate, and Ashley's faithfulness--not to mention her increasingly mysterious past--are suddenly thrown in to question. As Superintendent Grace soon discovers, one man's disaster is another man's fortune.
This book is part of the "Roy Grace" series.
