Cold Hill is Peter James’s supernatural horror series about an estate where new residents encounter something ancient and malevolent. The House on Cold Hill (2015) follows a family who moves into a grand old house only to experience increasingly disturbing events that suggest they are not alone. The Secret of Cold Hill (2019) shifts to new characters on the same property.

The series represents James’s return to horror, a genre he worked in early in his career before the Roy Grace crime series dominated his output. The Cold Hill books have a classic haunted house structure, building dread through strange occurrences that escalate toward a confrontation with whatever lurks on the estate.
