A Twist of the Knife is Peter James’s gripping first full-length collection of thirty short stories, including all the stories featured in Short Shockers One and Two plus many more. 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 thirteen, 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’s 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’s 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 neverseen-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.
