THE UNPUTDOWNABLE THRILLER FROM THE MASTER STORYTELLER
‘Only someone like Jeffrey Archer . . . could have written a compelling story like this. Every page bristles with suspense and the ending comes at you with the force of a tank round’ DAVID BALDACCI
London, 1988. Royal fever sweeps the nation as Britain falls in love with the ‘people’s princess’.
Which means for Scotland Yard, the focus is on the elite Royalty Protection Command, and its commanding officer. Entrusted with protecting the most famous family on earth, they quite simply have to be the best. A weak link could spell disaster.
Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick and his Scotland Yard squad are sent in to investigate the team. Maverick ex-undercover operative Ross Hogan is charged with a very sensitive – and unique – responsibility. But it soon becomes clear the problems in Royalty Protection are just the beginning. A renegade organization has the security of the country – and the Crown – in its sights. The only question is which target is next in line…
Over My Dead Body hit #4 in the Sunday Times bestselling charts on 4th June 2022.

Three Tales for the Price of One
Three separate stories are interwoven into this highly entertaining book. I haven’t read any of the previous William Warwick books but although this obviously ties in with them, it was so cleverly written that I didn’t feel at any time ‘at sea’. Highly recommended.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Could have been better
I often find with Archer’s books that the narrative starts with great promise but the exposition makes too many ‘leaps’ with almost meme-like social and political gaps just filled with really implausible solutions that leave the reader feeling a little shortchanged. Still an entertaining read for a quick vacation but could definitely have been better.
Totally recommend
