Peter James latest book Where are they? Some may have run away and changed their identities, perhaps to escape debts, or sadly committed suicide and their bodies never found. 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 . 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. Left You Dead begins with a Brighton couple arguing over cat litter. On a Sunday drive near Steyning, Niall and Eden Paternoster stop outside the Tesco at Holmbush so Eden can collect the cat litter Niall has forgotten to buy.
John Simm to return for second series of his ITV hit Grace
Three new films starring the Life on Mars actor
ITV has ordered a second series of Grace, starring John Simm as Brighton-based Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.
The first series, shown last month, attracted over eight million viewers, so it’s little surprise that ITV has commissioned more episodes. Series two will comprise three two-hour films; Not Dead Enough, Dead Man’s Footsteps and Dead Tomorrow.
Grace has been adapted by Endeavour creator Russell Lewis from the bestselling books by author Peter James.
Russell said: “After the overwhelmingly positive audience response to the seaside noir of Dead Simple, (tabloid trauma tales notwithstanding!) and Looking Good Dead cued up ready to go, all at Team Roy Grace are delighted to have been given the opportunity by ITV to return to Brighton (& Hove, actually!) to continue Roy’s story with a new series of films based on Peter James best-selling novels
