Publisher Description

A Twist of the Knife is Peter James" gripping first full-length collection of 30 short stories. With each twist of the knife, a chilling new journey begins.

From a woman intent on bizarre revenge, to a restaurant critic with a morbid fear of the number 13; and from a man arranging a life-changing assignation, to a couple heading for a disaster-filled vacation.

In multi-million-copy bestselling author Peter James" collection of short stories we first come to meet Brighton"s finest detective, Roy Grace, and read the tale that went on to inspire James" hugely successful novel, Dead Simple. James exposes the Achilles heel of each of his characters, and makes us question how well we can trust ourselves, and one another. Each tale carries a twist that will haunt readers for days after they turn the final page.

Combining every twisted tale from the ebook bestsellers Short Shockers One and Short Shockers Two, with a never-seen-before collection of new material, A Twist of the Knife shows Peter James as the undisputed grand master of storytellers with this sometimes funny, often haunting, but always shocking collection.
