Peter James launches ONE OF US IS DEAD

 

Many writers and publishers are accused of concentrating their efforts around London and with the large book chains – so it was a delight to see Peter James support independent booksellers signing his latest Roy Grace detective thriller in Rural Cheshire ahead of the official launch.

Peter was greeted by the owner of the Nantwich Bookshop Steve where a huge line of Peter James’ readers had assembled to purchase and have personalised signatures of an exclusive independent bookshop edition.

….so back to the latest Roy Grace detective adventure…..

Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be . . ….
When James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the back of the small church. But, as the service progresses, Taylor notices a man six rows in front of him. At first he thinks he must be mistaken, but the more he looks at the man, the more convinced Taylor becomes that this is his old schoolfriend Rufus Rorke.
Except it couldn’t be him, could it? Because two years ago Taylor attended Rufus Rorke’s funeral. He even delivered Rufus’s eulogy.
On the other side of Brighton, at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And could they possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?

We’ve followed Peter’s work for many years now and reviewed his work at Shots over the years so it’s with excitement that the latest novel ONE OF US IS DEAD is released next week [24^th September 2024] however independent bookshops across the UK have these special editions available for sale ahead of the mass market.  

And remember the TV series GRACE based on Peter’s novels has entered its 4^th season on ITV and all episodes are available for streaming from ITVX online and the series has been renewed for a fifth season -

ITV has recommissioned the popular Brighton-based detective drama GRACE. Based on the internationally bestselling Detective Superintendent Roy Grace books by Peter James, the TV adaptation is now confirmed for a fifth series.

John Simm returns as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace for another four feature length films (4 x 120 minutes) which will air on ITV1 and ITVX. Also reprising their roles for series five are Richie Campbell (Top Boy, Stephen) who plays DS Glenn Branson, Zoë Tapper (Liar) as Cleo Morey, Laura Elphinstone (Chernobyl) as DS Bella Moy, Brad Morrison (Outlander) as DC Nick Nicholl and Sam Hoare (The Castaways) as ACC Cassian Pewe.
