This brief note is to tell you little bit about my new novel DEAD SIMPLE and a character – drawn from real life police officer I know – who I have been developing for several years.
I have been addicted to stories featuring the great detectives of fiction since I was a child, from Sherlock Holmes and Philip Marlowe through to Morse and Rebus. To me all these great characters are compelling not so much because they are brilliant at solving crimes, but because they succeed despite their flaws. They have weakness and fallibility, just like all of us ordinary folk.
In DEAD SIMPLE my central character, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is such a man. He is brilliant at fighting crimes that happen to others, yet unable to solve the mystery of his wife who vanished into thin air nine years ago. And he is unable to resist resorting to mediums for help in his police work despite the risk to his career prospects from his sceptical chief.
I hope you will enjoy reading the first adventure of Roy Grace as much as I have enjoyed creating him and writing the book.
Very best wishes
Peter James
