  • Bonus Ep. 10 - UK Author Peter James Interview

    Welcome to the tenth special bonus episode of - The Stephen King Podcast - Constant and New Listeners!

    In this installment, UK Crime and Thriller Author, Peter James pops in from across the pond for a chat.

    Peter James is a UK No. 1 bestselling author, best known for writing crime and thriller novels, and the creator of the much-loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. With a total of 13 Sunday Times No. 1s under his belt, he has achieved global book sales of over 19 million copies to date, and has been translated into 37 languages.

    We talk about Peter's latest book, a standalone thriller titled -

    "Investigative reporter Ross Hunter nearly didn't answer the phone call that would change his life – and possibly the world – for ever.

    'I'd just like to assure you I'm not a nutcase, Mr Hunter. My name is Dr Harry F. Cook. I know this is going to sound strange, but I've recently been given absolute proof of God's existence – and I've been advised there is a writer, a respected journalist called Ross Hunter, who could help me to get taken seriously.'

    What would it take to prove the existence of God? And what would be the consequences?

    The false faith of a billionaire evangelist, the life's work of a famous atheist, and the credibility of each of the world's major religions are all under threat. If Ross Hunter can survive long enough to present the evidence…"
