The Official Peter James Police Car!

To celebrate the publication of Dead Man's Footsteps, it gives me great pleasure to announce that my publisher Pan Macmillan have sponsored one of Brighton and Hove Police's patrol cars! You can see how the jacket design of Dead Man's Footsteps has been incorporated into the body work below. Eagle eyed readers might also have seen this article in the Mail On Sunday about the car too. UPDATE: Here's some photos of PJ and the car together.

Under guard by Sgt Matt Bellfield - the first officer to drive the car.

PJ hands over the keys to Chief Superintendent Paul Pearce,
Commander of Brighton and Hove

Hi Tina

Thanks so much - and keep an eye on this blog as there will be some photographs of the car going up this weekend.

I'm hugely honoured you have bought all the early books!!!

Thanks so much for the good wishes and the offer of the Amazon review - that is really kind of you. And
I haven't forgotten about the transport idea for Roy....!!!!

All best

Hi Peter

Great pics - brings back good memories of the launch in Brighton last week. Even for someone like me who doesn't drive and knows next-to-nothing about cars, this is a very cool looking vehicle!

Can't wait to start Dead Man's Footsteps BTW :)

Wow pleased to see DMF is at No. 4 and probably nearer number 1 by now. It really is a first rate read! Love the car (and the red socks)

Thanks Linda!!! So do you think red socks could end up becoming official Sussex Police uniform?????

Very cool pictures, Peter. That's the undercover divison's car, then, is it?

Best ones,

You've also inspired others. This might have you laughing, Peter:
