They Thought I Was Dead: Sandy's Story : From the Multi-Million Copy Bestselling Author of The Roy Grace Series

'One of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world' - Lee Child

Peter James, the number one, multi-million copy bestselling author of the Grace series returns to finally reveal the events of Roy Grace’s tortured past – the truth behind his wife’s disappearance. Thrillingly told from her perspective, this is Sandy’s story.

*************

Some will know how it begins . . .

My name is Sandy.

My husband is Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.

But when I disappeared, even he couldn't find me . . .

This is my story.

There's more to Sandy than meets the eye. A woman with a dubious past, a complicated present and an uncertain future.

Then she was gone.

Some will think they know how it ends . . .

Her disappearance caused a nationwide search. Even the best detective on the force couldn't find her.

They thought she was dead.

But nobody knows this . . .

Where did she go? Why did she run? What would cause a woman to leave her whole life behind and

simply vanish?

For the first time the truth behind Sandy Grace’s dramatic disappearance is revealed. They Thought I Was Dead will thrill fans and new readers alike with its gripping story of a woman on the run. This is Sandy's story.

They Thought I was Dead was an instant no.1 Sunday Times bestseller when it published in HB w/c 13/05/2024

*************

23 million books sold.

Creator of Her Majesty Queen Camilla’s favourite fictional detective.

'One of the best crime writers in the business' - Karin Slaughter, author of the Will Trent series.

'This is the one I’ve been waiting for. And it’s a masterpiece of suspense. I quite literally couldn’t put it down - even when I was supposed to be doing other things . . .' - Barbara Erskine, author of The Dream Weavers

'Typically, They Thought I Was Dead is a brilliantly fast-paced thriller with more twists and turns than a Tour de France descent. No doubt it’ll be eagerly read by fans' - Daily Express

'One of the world’s most popular detective series' – The Guardian
