BOND IS BACK... It’s official: 2011 will see the return of James Bond in a new novel to be written by international bestselling thriller writer Jeffery Deaver.
Information about the content of the book remains top secret. Author Jeffery Deaver says “I don’t want to give much away about the new book yet, except to say that the novel will maintain the persona of James Bond as Fleming created him and the unique tone the author brought to his books, while incorporating my own literary trademarks: detailed research, fast pacing and surprise twists”.
Jeffery Deaver has written over 25 novels and sold more than 20 million books worldwide. His books have topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and he has been described as ‘a true master at work’ Daily Mail and ‘the most creative, skilled and intriguing thriller writer in the world’ Daily Telegraph.
He is best known for his Lincoln Rhyme books, most notably The Bone Collector, which was adapted for film in 1999, starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.
In 2004, Deaver won the Crime Writers’ Association’s Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for his book Garden of Beasts. In his acceptance speech he talked about his lifelong admiration of Fleming’s writing.
