Looking good dead - Peter James

This is a TV tie-in edition of Looking Good Dead, the second bestselling title in the Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series from number one crime writer, Peter James.

Now a major ITV series, adapted for television by screenwriter Russell Lewis and starring John Simm as Roy Grace.

When a young woman's body is found butchered in Brighton, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace cannot help but think of his own missing wife and her unsolved fate.

Elsewhere in the city, when Tom Bryce finds a disc left on a train, he simply tries to do the right thing - return it to its owner. But this attempted act of kindness makes him the sole witness to that same vicious murder.

Learning that Tom has made a statement to Grace's team, the killers have to act. But when they plan the murder of the Bryce family, it's not just revenge - it's entertainment.

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.
