About "Secondary Cause Of Death "

The second of the ''Inspector Pratt' trilogy. (Can be performed as a 'stand-alone')

Inspector Pratt arrives at Bagshot House with grim news for Colonel Craddock, but that's just the beginning. Who is the strange Polish Count? Is Henrietta really an army Captain? And how does the eccentric thespian, Longfellow fit in to the equation? These are just some of the characters who make Pratt's return a chaotic nightmare as the bodies pile higher and higher.

If you thought that Murdered to Death was funny, just wait until you read this one.

About The Author

Peter was born in York in 1950. Now a full-time writer, his earlier career as a chartered civil engineer took him as far afield as the middle east and eventually led to him becoming head of civil engineering at a UK university. 

Peter has now settled back in York, where he lives with his wife, Janice. As well as writing, he has a keen interest in music; until recently he was regularly playing drums with a rock band. Peter has always had an interest in writing but was a 'late convert' to stage work. His first play was published in 1990. To date, he has written nine comedy plays, one psychological thriller and a one act comedy. Eight of these plays have been published and are available for performance through the play catalogue of Josef Weinberger Ltd.   
  
All of Peter's plays have enjoyed enormous success, particularly the 'Inspector Pratt' series of plays, 'Murdered to Death' , 'Secondary Cause of Death' and 'Death by Fatal Murder'.  These three plays have currently had three professional tours/productions in the UK and USA, with a further two USA productions planned for 2009 and 2010. They have also had over 750 amateur productions in the UK and overseas, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. 

Peter is currently working on a new comedy play, a screenplay and a project to adapt one of his plays, 'Generations Apart', to a musical.
