Ken Owen, a huge Peter James fan, will be appearing on the popular TV programme, Mastermind, and he has chosen the Roy Grace novels as his specialist subject. The programme will be broadcast in the UK on March 23, 2012.

The series began with DEAD SIMPLE, and has been hugely successful. DEAD MAN'S GRIP, the 7th was a no 1 bestseller last year and Peter is now writing the eighth in the series, NOT DEAD YET which will be published by Macmillan in June 2012. The series is published in 35 languages.
