DEAD MAN'S GRIP by Peter James shot straight to No 1 on the hardback bestsellers list. Published less than a week ago, DEAD MAN'S GRIP has sold more than 17,000 hardback copies through Nielsen Bookscan alone!

DEAD MAN'S GRIP (launched with an extraordinary party last week) is the 7th book in the Roy Grace series, following the hugely successful DEAD LIKE YOU which remained in the top 20 for 11 consecutive weeks and two weeks at No 1, and which also reached no 1 on the paperback charts.

Praise for Peter James:

'Sinister and riveting...Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world.' -- Lee Child

'James is well established at the very top of the British crime tree and this atmospheric, pacy and truly gripping novel will most certainly help to keep him there.' -- The Bookseller

'DEAD MAN'S GRIP brings a whole new dimension to this series, and in my view lifts it way above its peers...I really couldn't wait to finish, to see how it would be resolved. And just when I thought it had been, in the last couple of pages there was a belter of a surprise which made me wonder, 'when's the next book out?'...Excellent.' -- Adrian Magson, Shots Magazine
