These are the hardest cases to investigate for police - when they don't have hard proof of a body. And that's how this story starts." Meanwhile, there’s the usual sideshows that we associate with a James novel – his private life with wife Cleo and strange young son Bruno, problems for his loyal supporting cast of hard-working cops, and the malign presence of ACC Cassian Pewe looming over it all. Peter James is a UK number one bestselling author, best known for writing crime and thriller novels, and the creator of the much-loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, now a major ITV series. Globally, his books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and have sold 21 million copies. Peter's contribution, Wish You Were Dead, centres around Roy Grace's family on a "holiday from hell". Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures, and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives, as no English crime writer before him. His hero, Roy Grace, may not be the most lively cop, nor the most damaged by drink, weight or misery, but he's one of the most believable * The Times *Left You Dead, book number 17 in the series, is released this week with a virtual launch on Wednesday.

He said: "I've never seen Brighton look so good on film - I'm so happy as I'm passionate about the city. He still has big dreams which tend to rub people up the wrong way and most folk at least in the police don’t like him.

Niall appears to be the prime suspect – his business has gone bust and he makes a few quid by driving his mate’s taxi, leaving Eden as the family breadwinner.If you’ve never seen one before, go and look here. No self-respecting UK university was without one in the 1980s and 1990s … I remember asking a police officer if there is such thing as a perfect murder and he said: 'Absolutely. They're the ones we never hear about'. The Times James just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class series One major character leaves (spoiler alert it’s not the simpering Cleo) and another could well be on the way out (spoiler alert it’s still not the simpering Cleo).

Left You Dead is the seventeenth thrilling crime novel in the Roy Grace series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective's investigations with Dead Simple, Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough. Peter said he was delighted with the way the city looked in the first show, which amassed 8.8 million viewers when it aired earlier this year. I spent the start of Left You Dead faintly distracted by the names Niall and Eden Paternoster. This may be because of being traumatised for life by an incident getting out of a paternoster (one of those moving series of compartments now outlawed on health and safety grounds) at the University of Leicester …

Following its world premiere this summer, a stage play of Looking Good Dead, starring Adam Woodyatt in the lead role, is set for a run at Brighton's Theatre Royal in October.

Gone without a trace, Niall is arrested on suspicion of her murder. When DS Roy Grace is called in to investigate, it doesn’t take long to realize that nothing is quite as it seems – and this might be his most mysterious case yet . . . In a nutshell, it’s a did he/didn’t he set-up, but James, one of the best storytellers around, keeps the clever plot motoring. And the very scary ending will put you off going out on a dark night … Enjoyable read from start to finish. I thought you dealt with the transplant issue very sympathetically and caused a few tugs at the heart strings whilst reading. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace investigates the case of a missing woman in Brighton in the 17th novel in Peter James’s bestselling series. Is this Roy Grace’s most challenging case yet? A mystery that is leaving him totally confounded for the first time in his career. James thanks his “amazing editor” but surely an editor amazing or otherwise would know you can’t microwave tin foil, understand the meaning of enormity, not demote Detective Inspector Glenn Branson to a Detective Sergeant towards the end of the book (sloppy) and not misspell my name – twice (deliberate or sloppy?)These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community.
