Peter Hill’s background is steeped in crime. He was a detective in the Metropolitan Police, London, serving in some of the toughest parts of that city for thirteen years. He also worked at New Scotland Yard in the Company Fraud Department and later the internationally recognised C1 department known as The Murder Squad. In the course of his investigations he travelled widely in Britain, Europe and South America.
He left the force at the age of thirty-two, with the rank of Detective Inspector, to become a professional writer, initially as a TV script writer.
Peter worked extensively in television for iconic British drama series such as Callan, The Sweeney, Z Cars, Public Eye, The Bill, Special Branch, Crown Court, New Scotland Yard, and Armchair Theatre. He has been a writer, script editor and producer both in the UK and New Zealand, where he now lives.
He wrote six novels in his own name, all of which were published worldwide, in hard and paperback editions, and in several translations. This was in the days when major publishing houses did not publish a work unless they thought it had merit, and reputable newspapers and magazines employed seasoned, unbiased professional reviewers.
These books are all police thrillers set in various locations in the UK and have now been converted from hard copies.
The Hunters, The Liars, The Enthusiast and The Savages in the Staunton and Wyndsor Series are now available as eBooks at most major online retailers.
The others, The Fanatics and The Washermen, in the Commander Allan Dice Books, are also now available as eBooks. These books are all stand-alone stories, but with the same major protagonists, they are each part of a series, not an ongoing serial.
Under the pen name of John Eyers, Peter was commissioned to write Survivors: Genesis of a Hero, the sequel to Terry Nation’s novel, based on the famous Survivors TV series.
Also as John Eyers, he wrote Special Branch: In at the Kill, a spin-off from the Special Branch TV series. These are now available as eBooks. Both these books are stand-alone stories and it is not necessary to be familiar with the TV programmes to be able to enjoy them in their own right.
After a successful career in TV drama Peter has returned to novel writing but in a new genre and Evolution’s Path is a series of related near and far-future dystopian crime stories.
Killing Tomorrow is the first. The second and third in the series are The Ladies’ Game and Procreation. They are all available at major online retailers and in print from Amazon or directly from CreateSpace.
