Exceedingly well written murder mystery thriller

Peter James has again demonstrated his ability to grip the reader with a tautly written mystery thriller.
The book starts with a seemingly unfortunate death of a university student on a bicycle in a hoorible traffic accident in a rainstorm.
It then devolves into awful unintended connections with the American and British underworld and parts of Brighton Hove that none of us, the uninitiated, might otherwise never know existed.
I can't say more. It would spoil the suspense.
Readers simply must read this book.
PS: Once you're about halfway through, don't plan on anything else. You won't put it down.
