An unputdownable story of murder, revenge and betrayal from
international number one bestseller Jeffrey Archer. THE CLOCK IS
TICKING IN THIS ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF A THRILLER... In London, the
Metropolitan Police set up a new Unsolved Murders Unit - a cold
case squad - to catch the criminals nobody else can. In Geneva,
millionaire art collector Miles Faulkner - convicted of forgery and
theft - was pronounced dead two months ago. So why is his
unscrupulous lawyer still representing a dead client? On a luxury
liner en route to New York, the battle for power within a wealthy
dynasty is about to turn to murder. And at the heart of all three
investigations are Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick,
rising star of the Met, and ex-undercover operative Ross Hogan,
brought in from the cold. But can they catch the killers before
it's too late? Praise for Jeffrey Archer: 'Probably the greatest
storyteller of our age' Mail on Sunday 'Peerless master of the page
turner' Daily Mail 'If there were a Nobel Prize for storytelling,
Archer would win' Daily Telegraph 'Archer is a master entertainer'
Time Jeffrey Archer's previous novel Nothing Ventured was a No.1
Sunday Times bestseller w/c 28th March 2020.
Turn a Blind Eye is the third instalment in the gripping story of
Detective Inspector William Warwick, by the master storyteller and
Sunday Times number one bestselling author of the Clifton
Chronicles. William Warwick, now a Detective Inspector, is tasked
with a dangerous new line of work, to go undercover and expose
crime of another kind: corruption at the heart of the Metropolitan
Police Force. His team is focused on following Detective Jerry
Summers, a young officer whose lifestyle appears to exceed his
income. But as a personal relationship develops with a member of
William's team, it threatens to compromise the whole investigation.
Meanwhile, a notorious drug baron goes on trial, with the
prosecution case led by William's father and sister. And William's
wife Beth, now a mother to twins, renews an old acquaintance who
appears to have turned over a new leaf, or has she? As the
undercover officers start to draw the threads together, William
realizes that the corruption may go deeper still, and more of his
colleagues than he first thought might be willing to turn a blind
eye. 'Peerless master of the page-turner' - Daily Mail
Nothing Ventured is the incredible and thrilling novel by the master storyteller and best-selling author of the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel, Jeffrey Archer.
This is not a detective story; this is a story about the making of a detective....
William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective and decides, much to his father's dismay, that rather than become a barrister like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London's Metropolitan Police Force.
After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first high-stakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard's arts and antiquities squad. Investigating the theft of a priceless Rembrandt painting from the Fitzmolean Museum, he meets Beth Rainsford, a research assistant at the gallery whom he falls hopelessly in love with, even as Beth guards a secret of her own that she's terrified will come to light.
While William follows the trail of the missing masterpiece, he comes up against suave art collector Miles Faulkner and his brilliant lawyer, Booth Watson QC, who are willing to bend the law to breaking point to stay one step ahead of William. Meanwhile, Miles Faulkner's wife, Christina, befriends William, but whose side is she really on?
Nothing Ventured heralds the start of a brand-new series in the style of Jeffrey Archer's number one Sunday Times best-selling The Clifton Chronicles: telling the story of the life of William Warwick - as a family man and a detective who will battle throughout his career against a powerful criminal nemesis. Through twists, triumph and tragedy, this series will show that William Warwick is destined to become one of Jeffrey Archer's most enduring legacies.
