On Episode 4 of the second season of “Off the Shelf”, Simeon and Kghia speak to Peter May, author of The China Thrillers and The Enzo Files.  In addition to his award winning novels, Peter discusses his newest novel, Virtually Dead, which is set in Second Life.

To research his new novel, Peter created an avatar (Flick Faulds) in Second Life and spent a year running a detective agency in the virtual world. From his experiences, he has spun a tale tying real life, the metaverse, and murder together.
