Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is once again facing a potential copycat killing in the novel Dead Like You, written by the acclaimed crime author Peter James. The scene unfolds at the Metropole Hotel in Brighton, where a woman is attacked as she returns to her room following a lively New Year's Eve ball. A week later, another woman is similarly assaulted, with the perpetrator taking both victims' shoes as evidence.

Roy Grace quickly realizes that these new cases bear striking similarities to an unsolved series of crimes that occurred in the city back in 1997. Dubbed Shoe Man, the perpetrator was believed to have attacked five women before murdering his sixth victim and vanishing without a trace. As the number of assaults increases, Grace and his team find themselves in a race against time to identify and save the life of the new sixth victim.

Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Dead Like You serves as the sixth thrilling installment in the highly successful series. Fans of the Brighton detectives can further explore their investigations with titles such as Dead Man's Grip and Not Dead Yet. Furthermore, the novel has been adapted into a major ITV series, starring John Simm, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the captivating world of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace once again.
