London: The publication of British author Jeffrey Archer’s final novel, Adam and Eve, has renewed global attention on the bestselling writer, whose books have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide and reached readers in 119 countries.�
Archer, 86, died on October 5, 2026, one day before his final novel was published on October 6. His publisher, HarperCollins, said he died “suddenly and peacefully at his home between writing sessions.”�
Adam and Eve begins at the end of the First World War and follows two children from vastly different social backgrounds whose lives become intertwined with major events of the Second World War. The novel imaginatively explores the historic moment in 1940 when Adolf Hitler was preparing to invade Britain.�
Archer was best known for works including Kane and Abel, The Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick series. Over a literary career spanning five decades, he built a worldwide readership through fast-paced storytelling and dramatic plot twists.�
