Peter James and John Simm on Roy Grace

Virtual Event Thursday 13th May, 6:30pm BST

To celebrate the publication of LEFT YOU DEAD, the latest in the Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series from Peter James, Peter and John Simm will discuss all things Grace.

The online event will begin with a conversation about the 'immensely satisfying' (the Guardian) ITV adaptation of the Roy Grace books which features a 'winning performance' (the Independent) from John Simm as the titular detective. Peter and John will talk about what it was like to bring this much-loved character to life on screen for the first time.

Peter will then talk about his new Roy Grace book, LEFT YOU DEAD, which sees Roy take on perhaps his most mysterious case to date, before answering questions from the audience.

Tickets cost £20 and include a signed hardback copy of LEFT YOU DEAD. Books can be collected free of charge from the bookshop or posted to you for £3.
