Ticket £10 (£3 redeemable against the book at the event, 1 ticket per book) Bridges Centre Drybridge House Drybridge Park Monmouth NP25 5AS Peter James will discuss his new book, The Hawk is Dead, in which Queen Camilla takes a leading role alongside her favourite fictional detective, Roy Grace. Opening with a cinematic derailment of the royal train, The Hawk is Dead takes Roy Grace deep into the heart of Buckingham Palace, when he is called upon to solve a murder and what looks to be a royal assassination attempt. Queen Camilla, a well-known book-lover and reading champion through her charity The Queen’s Reading Room, has always been one of the very first people to receive each Grace novel, and has a starring role, alongside His Majesty King Charles, in Peter’s latest thriller.
