About the book

'One of the best British crime writers' - Lee Child
When unsolved crimes resurface, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces a possible copycat killing in Dead Like You, by award winning crime author Peter James.

The Metropole Hotel, Brighton. After a heady New Year's Eve ball, a woman is attacked as she returns to her room. A week later, another woman is assaulted. Both victims' shoes are taken by the offender . . .

Roy Grace soon realizes that these new cases bear remarkable similarities to an unsolved series of crimes in the city back in 1997. Dubbed 'Shoe Man', the perpetrator was believed to have attacked five women before murdering his sixth victim and vanishing. Could this be a copycat, or has Shoe Man resurfaced?

When more women are assaulted, Grace and his team find themselves in a desperate race against the clock to identify and save the life of the new sixth victim . . .

Dead Like You is a pulse-pounding instalment of the award-winning Grace series by Peter James, now a major ITV show starring John Simm. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective's investigations with Dead Man's Grip and Not Dead Yet.

    Diesmal waren mir ein bisschen zu viele kaputte Menschen unterwegs und ich kam irgendwie schwer rein. Die zweite Hälfte war aber wie immer spannend und ich freue mich auf Teil 7 :)

    Das war für mich das zweite Buch des Autors,und ich muss sagen es war gut. Zwischendurch fand ich es etwas langatmig und Spannung baute sich erst zur Mitte des Buches auf.Es las sich flott durch die kurzen Kapitel.Daumen hoch👍
