“Dead Man’s Grip”
Good crime fiction is one of my numerous literary vices. Peter James is one of my favorite practitioners in the crime genre. His stuff is clever, funny, morbid, and always entertaining. Page turners, every one.
His latest, “Dead Man’s Grip”(Minotaur Books), just came out in the States. His publicist was kind enough to send me an advance copy last summer. James was in St. Louis a few months ago for a big mystery writers’ convention. I tracked him down on the phone and we taped an interview for my WYSO radio show.
In this interview James talked about his home town of Brighton the “Crime Capitol of England.” “Dead Man’s Grip” is set in Brighton. I asked James how Brighton earned this unsavory reputation? Tune in your radios this Sunday for the answer. Hint: technology had something to do with it.
James is a delightful author to interview. We talked about shoe fetishes, toilets, and his early career in films. He has made famous movies that you might have seen and even some classic low-budget horror films.
You can hear our conversation this Sunday morning at 11 o’clock (EST) on WYSO, 91.3fm and streamed at www.wyso.org.
