The Makings of a Murderer: The Undercover Detective

Get ready for a gripping evening with Peter Bleksley, a founding member of Scotland Yard’s undercover unit and former star of Channel 4’s Hunted. Peter will take you behind the scenes of murder investigations like never before, sharing stories from the most dangerous and secretive parts of his career.

Meet the Man Behind the Badge

For over ten years, Peter lived a double life undercover — posing as drug dealers, contract killers, and more. His work put him face-to-face with the darkest parts of our world, helping to uncover secrets that saved lives but put his own safety at risk. After an FBI-foiled assassination attempt, Peter was forced into witness protection, ending his detective career but leaving a treasure trove of chilling stories.

What to Expect

This event promises an unforgettable blend of suspense, true crime insight, and firsthand accounts. You’ll hear about:

  • Infiltrating criminal gangs and the gritty realities behind the scenes
  • The high-stakes cases Peter worked on and what it’s like to live undercover
  • Peter’s own terrifying experience of being the target of a murder plot
  • The justice system’s battle against some of society’s most dangerous criminals
