About this poster
A book poster inspired by Dead Simple, Peter James's pulse-pounding crime thriller that launched the Roy Grace series with a stag-night prank gone catastrophically wrong. When Michael Harrison is buried alive in a coffin as part of a best-man joke, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace must race against time to find him before the air runs out—while suspecting that bride-to-be Ashley Harper may know more than she's telling. This literary art print evokes the claustrophobic terror and moral ambiguity of a seemingly perfect crime unravelling into murder. A gripping addition to a home library, study, or reading nook, it makes a wonderful gift for thriller readers, crime fiction fans, and anyone who appreciates suspenseful storytelling. There is something fittingly symmetrical about presenting Dead Simple, Peter James's claustrophobic Brighton thriller, in a perfectly balanced square format. The format's calm order sits in deliberate contrast to the novel's buried secrets and deadly revenge, a tension worth having on the wall.
The Square edition of Dead Simple is a literary art print in balanced, symmetrical composition — designed for gallery walls and curated layouts. Its square format makes it elegant in any literary display.
✦ Square-format print with three exclusive colour variations (Stone, White, Mocha)

What size poster should I buy?
Paper sizes are hard to picture. Below, every size we print is hung on the same living room wall, to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, so you can see the real difference between an A4 and an A2 before you order.
Every size, on a real wall
Shown to scale above a 2.2 m sofa, each frame hung 20 cm above the sofa back.

Sizes are the printed paper. A frame adds a border around the print, so a framed piece covers a little more wall than the figures above. Prices for each size are shown on the product page.
Where to hang it
On its own
Hang so the middle of the print sits about 145 cm from the floor. That is eye level for most people and the height galleries use.
Above a sofa or bed
Leave 15 to 25 cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame, and pick a print roughly two thirds the width of the sofa.
A set of three
Keep 5 to 8 cm between frames and line up their middles. Three A4s or three A3s side by side read as one piece.
A gallery wall
Mix A5 and A4 around one larger A3 or A2. Lay it out on the floor first, then hang from the middle outwards.
