Having
been a loyal and dedicated fan of the world renowned novelist Peter
James for many years, I’m profoundly shocked as any reader to
contemplate the unimaginable conclusion that Peter James could be a
serial killer himself!
Tongue
in cheek aside, very serious questions have arisen as to the agenda
and motivation of Britain’s award winning and beloved crime writer.
Privately
educated at Charter’s House, a close friend of Sussex Police and
born into the family who made their fortune by making gloves for the
Queen, Peter James is better placed than anyone to appreciate the
darker and more sinister side of life.
Even
he is the first to admit that Brighton is the destination of choice
for the nation’s most successful Crime Lords to settle and raise
their families.
With
a corrupt police force, easy links to Europe and a transient
population, the City of Brighton is the perfect place for criminals
to base themselves and lay down roots.
Having
scared me personally from an early age having read ‘Twilight’,
Peter James has been a regular addition to my book shelf ever since.
I
was even luckier enough to be invited to one of his ‘Roy Grace’
book launches at the Honey Club in Brighton, where I was fortunate
enough to meet the Grandfather of British Horror, James Herbert
himself.
Having
published 11 Roy Grace books to date, Peter James is set to write
many more and even have his books turned into a TV series, while some
have already been made into theatre shows.
There
is no stopping him.
At
the launch of his latest Roy Grace book, ‘You are Dead,’ he had
these chilling words to say.
“You
know you could be a serial killer, I could be, the guy taking the
photographs could be, any of us.”
PERHAPS
PETER JAMES IS A SERIAL KILLER?
Using
Harold Shipman
as
his example he told Latest News reporter Mhairi
Beveridge,
“You know
Harold Shipman,
the worst serial killer we’ve had in this country, and there he
was, he was happy, cheery family doctor everybody loved.”
Certainly
the same can be asked about Peter James himself.
As
he explained earlier in the interview outside Brighton’s
Racecourse, “I’ve always been interested in the serial killer,
you know we can understand the guy who comes home and he finds his
best mate in bed with his girl-friend and he loses it and kills her,
but the people I think that really scare us are the serial killers,
the people who do it for gratification, for fun, for pleasure and
what’s always intrigued me about serial killers is A; they have to
be smart to survive that long, so how often they can be your
neighbour next door.”
Is
Peter James smart enough to survive that long, unsuspected, unsolved
and undeterred?
A
close friend of Sussex Police, Peter James has embedded himself deep
in the heart of Sussex Police for many years and knows their darkest
secrets, procedures and routines.
If
any serial killer was to survive undetected it would be Peter James
himself…
With
the help and assistance of insider David Gaylor, the ex Sussex Police
detective who he based the character Roy Grace on, Peter James is
planning to write a book with him about the unsolved Sussex murder
cases.
Called
‘Cold Cases,’ I was dismayed and disappointed to learn he had no
intention of investigating the most notorious ‘Cold Case’ of them
all, the Katrina Taylor murder of 1996.
Stabbed to death in the grave yard of St Nicolas Church in Brighton, it could be a
scene out of any Peter James novel.
Katrina
Taylor, a 19 year old heroin addict was believed to have burgled and
robbed a known drug dealer, and as a message to others in Brighton,
the said drug dealer ordered her assassination as an example not to
cross him again.
While
her killers were arrested and brought to justice, a cover-up kicked
in and her killers were consequentially released a year later and to
date, the Katrina Taylor murder remains an ‘Unsolved Murder,’ or
as Peter James and David Gaylor would refer to it, a ‘Cold Case.’
Mind
you it isn’t surprising Peter James would shy away from
investigating the Katrina Taylor murder cover-up, after-all Sussex
Police themselves are implicated directly in the cover-up.
It’s
prudent for Peter James not to smack his gift horse in the mouth! He
knows that if he starts poking his nose into the dark corners Sussex
Police would rather him not; Sussex Police may poke their nose into
his dark corners which he would rather them not.
I’m
personally disappointed in him because as the Shadow Sussex Police
Crime Commissioner and privy to many allegations of police
corruption; he has never replied to my many requests for him to
comment on the corruption which runs deep into the heart of Sussex
Police.
In
his book 'Want You Dead,' he thanks Sussex Police for their
assistance, “I am immensely grateful starting with the very
recently retired Chief Constable, Martin Richards QPM.”
Referring
to Martin Richards as Tom Martinson in the Roy Grace books, Peter
James includes two specific words, which reveals hidden meanings and
implications.
“Very”
recently retired? He knows as much as anyone who reads
www.shadowsussexpolicecrimecommissioner.blogspot.co.uk
that Martin Richards unexpectedly retired 9 months before he was
meant to.
Be
aware that Sussex Police have never commented on the above
allegations...
Mind
you, neither has Peter James; but as previously explained, its not
surprising he hasn't.
The
present Chief Constable Giles York has alluded to it, but still the
cover-up of the corruption deep in the heart of Sussex Police
continues unabated.
Read
more: Giles York admits his hands are tied.
Referring
to Martin Richards, Peter James makes the point of reminding his
readers that he's a recipient of the Queen's Police Medal (QPM).
We
can all see that the Queen's Knighthood list looks more and more like
a sex offenders list; the same can be said about any ward bestowed to
anyone by the Queen.
Peter
James may well can tell a story of his childhood where he visits his
father who's up late working in his workshop making a very special
pair of gloves for the Queen, her husband and mother.
“Daddy
why are you embroidering a five star; I thought St David's star had
six points.”
“Go
to sleep son, I know exactly what I'm doing. These gloves are for a
very special occasion which the Queen and her family never talk
about.”
John
Lenard Walson has been screaming from the rooftops that Martin
Richards covered up the child-abuse he suffered as a child.
Is
the truth something out of a Peter James novel? Is the truth that
Peter James is a serial killer too?
