The Mystery Manor group produced an author talk January 31st with Peter May speaking on his new novel, “Virtually Dead”. The book takes place in Second Life where the main character’s avatar is being threatened and avatars are being murdered – in both Second Life and in real life. It’s a thriller that shows us some of the interesting sides of Second Life that we don’t usually see over here in the Info Islands and the library-related sims. Peter set up a detective agency, the Flick Faulds Detective Agency, while researching this book.

Peter May is the award-winning author of several standalone novels and two series:
The China Thrillers, featuring Beijing detective Li Yan and American forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell; and The Enzo Files, featuring Scottish forensic scientist Enzo MacLeod, which is set in France. He is the creator of three major television drama series and garnered more than 1000 credits in 15 years as scriptwriter and script editor on prime-time British television drama, before quitting television to concentrate on his first love, writing novels. Born and raised in Scotland he now lives in France.
