Jeffrey Archer speaks to Deepali Dhingra about his latest book in the Warwick series, An Eye for an Eye, writing drafts by hand, and where he gets his inspiration from
-
An Eye for an Eye, which is the seventh book in the Warwick series, sees Faulkner and his dubious plans for William Warwick get entangled in political intrigue. His last book, Traitor's, was inspired by a conversation about the Crown jewels. What was the inspiration for this?
The inspiration for this was discovering that Thomas Jefferson hand-wrote the Declaration of Independence while he was in Paris, and if the copy were found today, it would be worth £100 million. Miles Conner finds it.
Do you have the plotlines of all eight books in this series when you started it?
No, I have no idea what will happen in the next book. I have the outline of the subject. So, in An Eye for An Eye, I knew it was an international crime. I do know the subject for the eighth and final book, which will be the 2012 Olympic Games.
