The Times
«Peter James riesce a entrare nell'intimità più vera dei suoi personaggi, per trasformare la loro quotidianità in un incubo.
The Indipendent
Michael Harrison è noto per i suoi scherzi. Li ha fatti a tutti i suoi amici, specialmente i suoi quattro più cari. Spesso divertenti, sì, ma altrettanto spesso crudeli. Forse troppo. Ma mai quanto quello che tocca a lui. Dopo la sua festa di addio al celibato, e dopo una colossale sbronza, Michael si risveglia nel buio più completo in un luogo sconosciuto. Un luogo sconosciuto e... stretto. Michael si risveglia sepolto vivo, chiuso in una bara con soltanto una bottiglia di whisky e una cannuccia per respirare, e una radiolina ricetrasmittente. Lo scherzo è la vendetta dei suoi quattro amici, e dovrebbe durare poco, giusto il tempo di spaventare Michael a dovere. Ma quando i suoi amici fanno un incidente d’auto, Michael esce dal gioco e precipita nell’incubo. Perché nessuno sa dove sia sepolto e nessuno può salvarlo. Oppure, forse, qualcuno sa. Altrimenti, chi è che gli sta sfilando dalla bara la cannuccia da cui respira?
Publishers Weekly
Tom Bryce ha agito come qualsiasi persona perbene avrebbe fatto. Ma poche ore dopo aver raccolto il cd che qualcuno aveva dimenticato sul sedile del treno accanto a lui e aver tentato di restituirlo al suo proprietario, ha capito di essere l’unico testimone di un omicidio spietato.
Nulla da quel momento sarà più come prima. Per lui e per i suoi cari. La sua splendida famiglia finisce infatti insieme a Tom sotto la minaccia dei colpevoli: sua moglie Kellie e i bambini faranno la stessa fine della vittima nel video se Tom andrà alla polizia a denunciare il fatto. Ma grazie al sostegno di Kellie, Tom trova il coraggio di parlare all’ispettore Roy Grace, un uomo a sua volta non privo di demoni contro cui lottare.
Da quel momento per i coniugi Bryce le ore sono contate: la loro fine orribile viene preannunciata sul web, generando una macabra aspettativa. Di lì a poco sarà possibile accedere alla rete e vederli in trappola, assistere alla loro morte in diretta… Anche per l’indagine di Roy Grace, dunque, il tempo sta per scadere.
Un nuovo, appassionante caso dell’ispettore Roy Grace dalla penna di uno dei maestri della crime fiction internazionale.

Quando, poco dopo, la polizia arriva sul posto, la donna è scomparsa, lasciando la macchina e il cellulare come uniche prove del suo passaggio.
Quello stesso pomeriggio, alcuni operai, scavando in un parco in un diverso quartiere di Brighton, scoprono i resti di una ragazza morta oltre trent’anni prima.
In apparenza sembrano due casi del tutto scollegati, ma l’ispettore Roy Grace, incaricato di seguire la prima indagine, non può non notare che le vittime sono molto simili nell’aspetto… Un sospetto che viene presto confermato da un’altra sparizione, e dal ritrovamento di un altro, recente cadavere, che ha lo stesso marchio a fuoco trovato sul corpo seppellito nel parco. I collegamenti sono troppi per poter essere ignorati, e le due indagini vengono fatte confluire.
Possibile che tutto sia opera di un serial killer, il primo a Brighton in oltre ottant’anni?
Dopo i successi di Una morte semplice e Voglio la tua morte, l’atteso ritorno di un autore da 18 milioni di copie nel mondo.
From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes I Follow You, a nerve-shredding standalone thriller.
To the outside world, suave, charming and confident doctor Marcus Valentine has it all. A loving wife, three kids, a great job. But there’s something missing, there always has been. . . . or rather, someone . . .
Driving to work one morning, his mind elsewhere and not on the road, he almost mows down a female jogger on a crossing. As she runs on, Marcus is transfixed. Infatuated. She is the spitting image of a girl he was crazy about in his teens. A girl he has never been able to get out of his mind.
Lynette had dumped him harshly. For years he has fantasized about seeing her again and rekindling their flame. Might that jogger possibly be her all these years later? Could this be the most incredible coincidence?
Despite all his attempts to resist, he is consumed by cravings for this woman. And when events take a tragically unexpected turn, his obsession threatens to destroy both their worlds. But still he won’t stop. Can’t stop.
