Recorded live at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival 2023

First, some numbers. Jeffery Deaver is the author of 42 novels, sold in 150 countries and translated into over 25 languages. He has sold over 150 million books worldwide. All very impressive but the numbers barely begin to tell the story of a storied career. Deaver is a maestro of suspense with precious few equals.

From his debut Manhattan is My Beat through The Bone Collector to his latest, Hunting Time, he has created a succession of expertly plotted novels, each gripping and ingenious, each racing along fuelled by pace, originality, invention and heart.

He has given his legion of readers a series of memorable protagonists including Lincoln Rhyme, Kathryn Dance and Colter Shaw. Each leap from the page, crafted at the fingertips of a master storyteller.

Jeffery Deaver is interviewed by broadcaster and author Mark Lawson.
