Jeffery Deaver, 60, a millionaire thriller writer, has been selected by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd to breath fresh life into the super-spy. Deaver, who has been hailed as "the master of ticking-bomb suspense", has written 26 novels and sold more than 20 million books worldwide. Born near Chicago, Deaver is best known for his Kathryn Dance and Lincoln Rhyme books, notably The Bone Collector, which was turned into a film starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.
He has written short story collections and stand-alone novels including Garden Of Beasts and The Bodies Left Behind. Before turning his hand to writing books full-time, Deaver was a journalist, like Fleming, and also a lawyer. He follows in the footsteps of Sebastian Faulks, who was picked to write a Bond novel marking the centenary of Fleming's birth.
