Master of suspense Peter James does it again, pleasing fans with his bestselling police procedural series and his chilling supernatural standalones.
THE SECRET OF COLD HILL, chilling sequel to THE HOUSE ON COLD HILL, has shot straight to the Number 4 spot in the Sunday Times paperback bestseller chart, topping the success of the earlier hardback edition which went straight to number 6 in the hardback charts.
This paperback success coincides with the hotly anticipated publication in hardback of FIND THEM DEAD, the 16th title in the Roy Grace series – which has already made it to the Top 5 on the Australian bestseller charts!
In FIND THEM DEAD, ending his secondment to London’s Met Police, Roy Grace returns to his old job in Brighton, and is drawn into the sinister sphere of influence of a drug dealer on trial. Roy Grace begins to unearth a powerful criminal network, but a mother, called to jury service, fears for her daughter’s life …
The first two Roy Grace novels, DEAD SIMPLE and LOOKING GOOD DEAD have been adapted for ITV by screenwriter and Endeavour creator, Russell Lewis, with John Simm set to star as the tenacious detective. Filming begins in Brighton in late 2020.
