Synopses & Reviews
In the latest from #1 international bestselling author Peter James,
Not Dead Yet, Roy Grace tracks a stalker obsessed with a Hollywood starlet.
Days before one of Hollywoods hottest stars, Gaia Lafayette, leaves home for a movie role on location in Brighton, England, there is a bungled attempt on her life. The whole city of Brighton awaits Gaias arrival, including her dangerously obsessive Number One fan looking for revenge and an anxious Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, charged with protecting Gaia.
When a mutilated torso is found on a chicken farm miles away in the countryside, Roy Grace has no reason at all to connect this to the stars visit to the county. But as events rapidly begin to unfold, Roy Grace and his police team find themselves in a desperate race against time to save Gaias life from a clever maniac who will stop at nothing to kill her.
Review
"James really knows how to plot a procedural thriller, and he enjoys a sly joke." —
The New York Times Book Review"James writes his books in crisp, short chapters that hop in and out of myriad characters' minds . . . Convuluted plots and wildly inventive homicidal setups in rich supply." —Houston Chronicle "James continues to impress with his great imagination, conjuring up grisly murders and improbable crime scenes." —RT Book Reviews "A finish you'll never see coming . . . Recommended." —Midwest Book Review Praise for Barry Award-winner Dead Man's Grip:
“Peter James always gives double value in his elegant police procedurals. . . . The methodical investigation is always authentically detailed . . . [and] Jamess inspired villains are also worthy of lead roles in mad-dog-killer thrillers.” —The New York Times “Fans will love this latest Roy Grace thriller, and newcomers will find Dead Man's Grip the perfect place to start.” —The Associated Press "Readers will come back begging for more after this exciting one. For fans of Lee Child and Jeffery Deaver." —Library Journal
