Picture You Dead

With a total of 20 Sunday Times best sellers to his name, Picture You Dead, the seventh thrilling stage adaptation, cements Peter James’s Grace Series as the most successful modern-day crime stage franchise since Agatha Christie.

‘The best of the Peter James stage adaptations I’ve seen’
- Southern Daily Echo
'It’s dead good. So do go!’
- Born Again Swindonian
‘Brilliant…a fiendishly enjoyable night out’
- Sussex World

Back home in Brighton, DSI Grace investigates a cold case that leads him to the secretive world of fine art, but beneath the respectable veneer lurks a dark underworld of deception and murder.

When one unsuspecting couple unearth a potentially priceless masterpiece, they discover that their dream find is about to turn into their worst nightmare, and only Grace can stop them from paying the ultimate price.
