Brighton Rock Walks

posted by Peter James @ 10:34 AM   1 Comments

This year as every year, Julian Clapp, a very experienced police officer (and the only one to have arrested me... at least so far!!!) guides on a wonderful "Brighton Rock" walk all around Brighton town centre visiting locations featured in the film and book.

The walk takes place during the Brighton Festival fringe and starts on Saturday May 3rd at 2pm and then every Saturday and Sunday at the same time until Sunday 25th May.

Graham Greene's novel is really the book that inspired me both to become a writer, and gave me the dream of one day setting a novel around a detective based in Brighton....

Julian's walk is a wonderful way to spend a May afternoon in my favourite city, then, as now, the Crime Capital of England!

I recently appeared on the Sky Arts Books Show, hosted by the really delightful Mariella Frostrup. My fellow guest on the show was Jeffrey Archer.

You can see my one-to-one interview on this clip, and, as one reader has gleefully pointed out, my red socks!
