Jeffrey Archer- An Eye for an Eye

from Speaking of Writers · host Steve Richards

AN EYE FOR AN EYE (HarperCollins) is the penultimate in the William Warwick series, a remarkable character study of two men—William Warwick and Miles Faulkner—and a modern take on the Holmes/Moriarity dynamic. Warwick is now a Chief Superintendent at Scotland Yard, now head of the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Unit, and Miles Faulkner is behind bars. In this dance of morality between these two men, Archer has opened rich narrative possibilities in the dark interlocking network of power and money around the world, from arms deals to the art market. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jeffrey Archer, whose novels include the Clifton Chronicles, the William Warwick novels and Kane and Abel, is one of the world's bestselling authors, with sales of over 275 million copies around the world. Famous for his discipline as a writer who works on up to fourteen drafts of each book, Jeffrey also brings a vast amount of insider knowledge to his books. Whether it’s his own career in politics, his passionate interest in art, or the wealth of fascinating background detail – inspired by the extraordinary network of friends he has built over a lifetime at the heart of Britain’s establishment – his novels provide a fascinating glimpse into a range of closed worlds. A member of the House of Lords, the author is married to Dame Mary Archer, and they have two sons, two granddaughters and three grandsons. He splits his time between London, Grantchester in Cambridge, and Mallorca where he writes the first draft of each new novel.
