Graham Bartlett and Peter James: Death Comes Knocking (UK 2016) From the Publisher: Death Comes Knocking takes the reader on a vivid journey from crime scenes and incident rooms to the morgue. Along the way we are introduced to some of the real-life detectives who inspired Peter James's characters. We read about the horrific murder of a dodgy nightclub owner and his family and see how the police tracked down the antique trade's most notorious 'knocker boys', nailed an audacious ring of forgers and hunted a cold-blooded killer who executed a surfer. Skilfully evoking the dangers of policing a city once described as Britain's crime capital, the authors also share the personal toll the job takes and the dedication and professionalism of those who risk their lives to keep the public safe. Graham Bartlett and Peter James: Death Comes Knocking. Policing Roy Grace's Brighton. Pan, ISBN: 9781509810482 (July, 2016), 307 p., £7.99.
