SOLVING A MURDER – THE FIRST 48 HOURS
Graham Bartlett, former Chief Superintendent for one of the UK’s most famous and infamous cities, Brighton and Hove, now leads on all policing topics to ensure crime based publications, TV series, books and films – get it right!
As the author of the Sunday Times Top Ten Best Seller ‘Death Comes Knocking’, which he wrote with internationally acclaimed crime writer Peter James, Graham experienced the intense research involved in ‘Making it Real’ – the name given to his new crime course series.
Graham is currently a police procedural advisor to best selling crime fiction writers and TV & film drama makers. He expressly tells writers “When writing crime fiction, feel free to gloss over the detail but never plunge your reader into a procedure or describe an activity unless it’s spot on”.
Graham has investigated numerous murders, rapes and other serious crimes. He became a homicide senior investigating officer as well as commanding countless firearms and public order operations. His experience is extensive which makes for 100% accuracy when it comes to creating crime fiction.
Next month, the former senior detective will take writers into an immersive virtual crime scene where an investigation unfolds, hour by hour! A process that will lead to the identification, arrest and interview of a suspect. He will explain the professional roles involved, how they work and where conflict and empathy arise. Graham will explain how to build credible drama with total accuracy, keeping the reader or viewer at the centre of the action.
There will also be exclusive interviews and web chats with Kate Bendelow, a crime writer and operational Scenes of Crime Officer and Lesley McEvoy, who is also a crime writer and behavioural analyst, able to detect personality types from crime scenes.
Ultimately this event, with contributions from best selling crime writers Peter James, Elly Griffiths, Mark Billingham and Julia Crouch, will provide the tools to write gripping stories, realistic scenes and authentic characters.
