Peter James is leaving the competition dead in its tracks. After launching NOT DEAD YET in the UK to rave reviews and sales, and being the first title to break the E.L James 50 SHADES OF GREY sixteen week numbers one to three positions on the UK sales charts when it parachuted straight to No 1 in publication week, NOT DEAD YET is now the Amazon 'Pick of the Month' and the Apple iTunes 'Best of November' pick in the U.S.

NOT DEAD YET is the much anticipated eighth book in the thrilling Roy Grace crime series. With James' gritty plot twisting and gripping writing he has created a huge and loyal following in the UK and abroad with over 13 million copies sold worldwide.

Selected by Publishers Weekly in 2005 as one of the five crime writers tipped to become a new brand name in the USA, Peter James is doing just that with these major Amazon and iTunes promotions and we couldn't be more thrilled with his success.
