Peter James was awarded an OBE this year for services to literature and charity, and his Roy Grace series - now a major ITV drama starring John Simm - has made Brighton one of the most recognisable settings in British crime fiction. These three novels sit at the heart of the series, with Grace investigating a stadium kidnapping, a murderous global internet scam and a body that looks like an open-and-shut case until it very much isn't. Taut, intelligent and richly plotted, these novels reveal why James remains one of the most reliable voices in contemporary crime.
Peter James, Need You Dead - Lorna thought she had found her escape route. Grace finds her body and discovers the case is anything but simple.
Peter James, Dead If You Don't - Mungo Brown vanishes at a Brighton football match and his father receives a message that leaves no room for doubt.
Peter James, Dead at First Sight - Two men wait for women who don't exist, and Grace finds himself facing a murderous empire built on internet lies.
Excellent choice. I have only read 3 books so far but have enjoyed them immensely and I am looking forward to the next book. I have bought from bookhound before and will again. Thank you.
