Our guest speaker
After thirty years of policing, during which he became Brighton and Hove Police’s Chief Superintendent, a senior homicide detective and a public order and firearms commander, Graham went on to become a best-selling crime fiction and non-fiction author, as well as a police and crime advisor.
His debut non-fiction, Death Comes Knocking, written with Peter James, was a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller, and Peter and Graham followed this up with the critically acclaimed Babes in the Wood. Since then, Graham has had three solo crime novels published: Bad for Good (Sunday Times Top Ten Best Seller, Winner of Crime Fiction Lover Editors’ Choice Award 2022 and Nominated for Specsavers Debut of the Year 2022), Force of Hate, and City on Fire.
As a police procedure and crime advisor, Graham works with over 200 authors and TV writers (including Peter James, Elly Griffiths, Anthony Horowitz, Ruth Ware, Mark Billingham and the BBC), helping them inject authenticity into their work. He is a crime writing mentor with Jericho Writers, runs live and online crime writing courses, is a regular speaker at crime writing festivals and appears in many true crime TV documentaries.
