Tom Bryce did what any decent person would do. But within hours of picking up the CD that had been left behind on the train seat next to him, and attempting to return it to its owner, he is the sole witness to a vicious murder. Then his young family are threatened with their lives if he goes to the police. But supported by his wife, Kellie, he bravely makes a statemenet to the murder enquiry team headed by Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a man with demons of his own to contend with. And from that moment, the killing of the Bryce family becomes a mere formality — and a grisly attraction. Kellie and Tom's deaths have already been posted on the internet; you can log on and see them on a website. They are looking good dead.
Peter James was educated at Charterhouse and then at film school. He lived in North America for a number of years working as a screen writer and film producer (his projects included the award winning Dead of the Night) before returning to England. His previous novels, including the number one bestseller Possession, have been translated into twenty-six languages. All his novels reflect his deep interest in medicine, science and the paranormal. He has recently produced several films, including The Merchant of Venice, starring Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, and Joseph Fiennes and The Bridge of San Luis Rey, starring Robert DeNiro, Kathy Bates and Harvey Keitel. He also co-created the hit Channel 4 series Bedsitcom, which was nominated for a Rose d'Or. Peter James divides his time between his home in Notting Hill in London and Sussex.
