Jeffery Deaver is an international number-one bestselling author. His novels have appeared on bestseller lists around the world. His books are sold in 150 countries and translated into twenty-five languages. He has served two terms as president of Mystery Writers of America, and was recently named a Grand Master of MWA, whose ranks include Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen, Mary Higgins Clark and Walter Mosely.

The author of more than forty novels, three collections of short stories and a nonfiction law book, and a lyricist of a country-western album, he's received or been shortlisted for dozens of awards.

His The Bodies Left Behind was named Novel of the Year by the International Thriller Writers association, and his Lincoln Rhyme thriller The Broken Window and a stand-alone, Edge, were also nominated for that prize. The Garden of Beasts won the Steel Dagger from the Crime Writers Association in England. He's also been nominated for eight Edgar Awards by the MWA.

Deaver has been honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention, the Strand Magazine's Lifetime Achievement Award and the Raymond Chandler Lifetime Achievement Award in Italy.

His book A Maiden's Grave was made into an HBO movie starring James Garner and Marlee Matlin, and his novel The Bone Collector was a feature release from Universal Pictures, starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. Lifetime aired an adaptation of his The Devil's Teardrop. NBC television recently aired the nine-episode prime-time series, Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector.

Pressestimmen

Confirms his status as one of the finest crime writers in the world ... grabs the reader by the throat from the beginning. Superb. -- Independent on Sunday The pace is terrific, the suspense inexorable, and there is an excellent climax ... If you want thrills, Deaver is your man. -- Guardian Not just an adrenaline-charged manhunt but a game of deception and multiple double-cross that keeps the reader guessing right up to the final page -- The Times A real page-turner from start to finish -- Daily Mirror An epic cat-and-mouse chase -- Sunday Telegraph Full of his trademark misdirections, bluffs and double-bluffs ... It'll be snapped up and devoured by Deaver's legions of loyal fans -- News of the World on THE BODIES LEFT BEHIND 'Deaver cleverly keeps the surprises up his sleeve until the very end' -- Daily Mail on THE BODIES LEFT BEHIND 'A thrill-a-minute wilderness adventure' -- New York Times on THE BODIES LEFT BEHIND A head-spinning, clever cat-and-mouse tale that hurtles along at 100mph ... Full of twists, turns, bluffs and double bluffs, it's an edge-of-the-seat read from beginning to end -- Sunday Express on THE BODIES LEFT BEHIND 'My, can he make you turn those pages! His real genius lies in superb plotting, which is exactly what the thriller genre demands ... Deaver is so expert at this kind of thing it must be routine for him by now, but there is never a hint of complacency in his writing.' -- Herald 'I guarantee anyone who picks up this book won't be disappointed with the story ... as usual, Deaver has written a fantastic page-turner' -- crimesquad.com 'Deaver is on top form with this novel, there is absolutely no doubt about that ... An excellent read' -- reviewingtheevidence.com
