WELCOME

"THE THING ITSELF", the concluding part of Peter Guttridge's Brighton Trilogy, is out now.

Kirkus Review made it one of its Best Mysteries of 2012.

The magazine's review concluded:

"Guttridge’s third Brighton thriller is so well-written that it would be well worth your time even if it were not such a darkly brilliant mystery."

And this from BOOKLIST:

"the trilogy is really one story told in three parts, but even read as a stand-alone, THE THING ITSELF is gripping and satisfying...This is a serious, gritty novel designed to shock, captivate, and emotionally drain its readers, and it succeeds on all fronts."

"THE DEVIL'S MOON", a fourth Brighton novel, will be published in May 2013.

"CITY OF DREADFUL NIGHT" has been published in French translation as "PROMENADE DU CRIME".

The second in the trilogy, THE LAST KING OF BRIGHTON, is out now in France as LE DERNIER ROI DE BRIGHTON.

THE BELGIAN AND THE BEEKEEPER is out as an e-book original. The first of three playful novellas, set in 1916 (the year of that mysterious affair at Styles), featuring Sherlock Holmes and a certain foreign detective with a distinctive moustache.
