I don't know Peters at all, was just going by memory of
something I'd read, so I did some searching on the Internet
and found several references to a story in the Washington
Post saying that Peters and Parry are the same person. Now,
I'm not sure I'd believe something just because it says so in
the Washington Post, but that's the story as far as I know
it.
I haven't read any books under either name so I can't speak
for similarities in style or anything like that.
