Peter James’ short story collection A TWIST OF THE KNIFE, which combines every tale from the ebook bestsellers SHORT SHOCKERS ONE and SHORT SHOCKERS TWO with many new stories, is published tomorrow from Macmillan.

From a woman intent on bizarre revenge, to a restaurant critic with a morbid fear of the number thirteen; and from a man arranging a life-changing assignation, to a couple heading for a disaster-filled vacation, A TWIST OF THE KNIFE features 30 short stories that are sometimes funny, often haunting, but always shocking.

A TWIST OF THE KNIFE also features ‘Santa Drops In,’ the tale that inspired DEAD SIMPLE, the first novel in the bestselling Roy Grace series.

Macmillan have recently reissued all ten of James’ Roy Grace novels with new covers. ATOM BOMB ANGEL, one of his first novels, will be republished in December, as part of the Vintage Peter James collection. The first Vintage Peter James novel, DEAD LETTER DROP, published in January of this year, has sold over 100,000 copies.

For Peter James’ latest Roy Grace thriller, WANT YOU DEAD, Macmillan have created an interactive choice of ending for the novel – decide how you want the novel to end here.
