Today's guest on the Morning Media Menu was David Peace, one of the most critically acclaimed mystery novelists in the world.

He is the author of The Red Riding Quartet (about the Ripper murders in England), The Damned Utd (which was recently turned into a film), and Tokyo Year Zero. He was chosen as one of Granta's 2003 Best Young British Novelists and won the French Grand Prix de Roman Noir for Best Foreign Novel.

Press play on the embedded player below to listen. The show will be archived around the mediabistro.com network all morning.

He talked about adaptations of his novels and his new American release, Occupied City--a retelling of a mass murder in Japan. He concluded: "There's so much that happens in real life that we don't understand and we can't even fathom. I don't really see the point of making up crimes. The crime genre is the perfect tool to understand why crimes happen."

The show was hosted by GalleyCat editor Jason Boog and AgencySpy editor Matt Van Hoven. You can listen to all the past podcasts archived at mediabistro.com or download episodes for free on iTunes. Click here to download the MP3 version.
