About

Jeffrey Archer firmly established himself as a literary force with the publication of his first novel, Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less, in 1975. Now, 33 years later, Jeffrey continues to defy his critics and delight his fans. His most recent book, A Prisoner of Birth, is now available hardback and will be released in the UK in paperback on 17th October 2008.

Prior to releasing A Prisoner of Birth, Jeffrey turned his storytelling talents to The Gospel According to Judas, by Benjamin Iscariot, written in collaboration with eminent Australian biblical scholar, Professor Francis J Moloney. This thought-provoking retelling of the Judas Iscariot story offers a unique account of Christ's betrayer.
