ABOUT DEAD IN THREE TWO ONE
Peter's gripping new book DEAD IN THREE TWO ONE takes place over Pride weekend, the biggest event in Brighton's calendar, which sees half a million revellers hit the city streets. Roy Grace already has his work cut out coordinating the event policing, amidst whispers of a potential terrorist attack, but little does he know, there's a target on his back. Behind the opulent faade of the Royal Courteney Hotel, a nightmare is checking in. Dritan Dervishi, the cold-blooded consigliere for Albanian mob boss Roel Albazi, has arrived with a beautiful woman on his arm and a lethal secret in his suitcase. Back in a prison cell, Roy's old nemesis Albazi is counting down the seconds to a revenge that will not just take Roys life, but the lives of everyone he loves. And as Roy and his wife Cleo prepare for a night of celebration at the Royal Courteney, they have no idea that they are stepping into a deadly trap. As the relentless countdown nears zero, Roy must outsmart an invisible enemy and protect his loved ones before their time finally runs out .
