An Evening with Peter James at Hatchards Piccadilly

We are thrilled to welcome best-selling thriller writer Peter James back to Hatchards.

In conversation with Angela Rippon, Peter will be discussing his gripping new novel:

The Hawk is Dead

Her Majesty, Queen Camilla, is aboard the Royal Train heading to a charity event in Sussex when disaster strikes – the train is derailed. A tragic accident or a planned attack?

When, minutes later, a trusted aide is shot dead by a sniper, the police have their answer.

Despite all the evidence, Roy Grace is not convinced The Queen was the intended target. Fighting against the scepticism of his colleagues and the Palace itself, Grace pursues his own investigation. But when there is a second M**der, the stakes rise even higher, and Grace is at risk of becoming embroiled in a very public catastrophe – and mortal danger.

Failure at this level is not an option. But time is running out before the killer in the Palace strikes again…

We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be an unmissable evening!
