Peter James sponsors Cop Car
Crime may not pay but Crime Writing seems to.
Crime fiction author Peter James has sponsored £9,000 ($18,000) for a police car in the same Brighton-Hove neighbourhood that his Roy Grace novels are set. In addition to all of the usual police markings you expect to see on a cop car this one also has “Peter James - No. 1 for Crime Writing” and other promotional slogans written on its exterior.
The local chief was quick to add “The car will not be used to respond to emergency calls but is solely for use in the local community, to provide visibility and reassurance, and to provide a quick way for officers to get to their local neighbourhood areas.”
