Beschreibung des Verlags
The return of a Brighton girl turned movie star spells nothing but trouble for Detective Superintendent Roy Grace in the gripping crime novel Not Dead Yet, by award winning author Peter James.
Gaia Lafayette has a movie to shoot back home and Grace is in charge of her security. Yet when a vicious gangster is released from prison and an unidentifiable headless torso is found, a nightmare unfolds before Grace’s eyes.
An obsessed stalker is after Gaia – and Grace knows that they may be at large in his city, waiting, watching, planning . . .
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Not Dead Yet is the eighth thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Man's Time and Want You Dead.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two cases preoccupy Roy Grace in James's unnecessarily complicated eighth crime novel featuring the Brighton detective superintendent (after 2011's Dead Man's Grip). When a torso turns up in a vat of chicken excrement at a Sussex farm, Grace and his team know that the most important thing is to identify the victim, which proves difficult. Meanwhile, Grace eagerly awaits the birth of his first child (by his fianc e), though the memory of his first wife, who disappeared nearly a decade earlier, dampens his enthusiasm for fatherhood at times. Grace must also oversee the protection of pop superstar Gaia, who's in Brighton to film her first serious movie, the story of George IV's relationship with his secret mistress. That so many people wish the Lady GaGa-esque Gaia harm including an obsessed Internet fan, whose love turns to rage when her idol ignores her may strike some readers as implausible. Several side stories serve to confuse the main action.
