Autobiography for Quais du Polar

In the course of research for his ten Sunday Times No 1 bestselling Detective Roy Grace novels, Peter James has been buried alive in a coffin and sunk to the bottom of a harbour in a van.  Last year whilst pursuing his hobby racing classic cars, he rolled four times at 120KPH, breaking three ribs, bruising his spleen and slipping three discs.  We won’t ask what method of transport he took here today…He has written 25 novels.
