Praise for DEAD LIKE YOU:
'Peter James creates worlds as familiar as your backyard, but doubly spicy, smart, and entertaining.  Danger and drama leap from every page, as the master delivers precisely what every reader wants:  plenty of sizzle and emotional clout.  DEAD LIKE YOU makes for a terrific read.  Don't miss this one.' -- Steve Berry

'A terrific thriller...DEAD LIKE YOU is a haunting page-turner that seamlessly blends psychological suspense with police procedure, echoing the heart and voices of such authors as P. D. James and Ian Rankin at their best.' -- Jeffery Deaver, author of ROADSIDE CROSSES

Praise for GHOST LIGHT:
'When I think of GHOST LIGHT, the words climb over each other to be first in the queue: brilliant, beautiful. exhilarating, heartbreaking, masterly. It's that good.' -- Roddy Doyle.

'GHOST LIGHT will give days of pleasure to tens and tens of thousands of readers. It is a great love story, with extras: a virtuoso display of literary talent, a tribute to the Hiberno-English heritage of lore and lyricism and an interpretation of the Irish literary revival as the fruit of settler and native, Protestant and Catholic ... brimming with sympathy and skill.' -- Irish Times

'... masterful ... With his previous novels, STAR OF THE SEA and REDEMPTION FALLS, O'Connor carved out a unique way of playing his storyteller's hand over a wide landscape, with the use of invented documentation and textual adventure. GHOST LIGHT brings that achievement to a new dimension, more specifically located and yet all the more masterful in its management of re-imagined lives and the time they inhabit ... The writing is lyrical and moving.' -- Hugo Hamilton, The Financial Times
