The seventh and final volume of Jeffrey Archer's popular "Clifton Chronicles" series will hit the book stands in November.
The title of the book is "This Was a Man," publishers Pan Macmillan India today announced.
Meanwhile, "Cometh the Hour", the penultimate book in the "Clifton Chronicles" which showcases Archer's extraordinary storytelling with his trademark twists, released today.
"2016 is a hugely exciting year for 'The Clifton Chronicles', and I am delighted to announce that due to popular demand, the final two books in the series will be published this year," says Archer.
"The sixth and penultimate installment, 'Cometh the Hour' will be available worldwide from February 25, 2016, and the seventh and final volume in the series will be available from November 2016," he said, adding "I hope you'll enjoy joining me for the grand finale at the end of the year!"
"Cometh the Hour" opens with the reading of a suicide note, which has devastating consequences for Harry and Emma Clifton, Giles Barrington and Lady Virginia.
Giles must decide if he should withdraw from politics and try to rescue Karin, the woman he loves, from behind the Iron Curtain. But is Karin truly in love with him, or is she a spy?
Lady Virginia is facing bankruptcy, and can see no way out of her financial problems, until she is introduced to the hapless Cyrus T Grant III from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who's in England to see his horse run at Royal Ascot.
Sebastian Clifton is now the Chief Executive of Farthings Bank and a workaholic, whose personal life is thrown into disarray when he falls for Priya, a beautiful Indian girl. But her parents have already chosen the man she is going to marry. Meanwhile, Sebastian's rivals Adrian Sloane and Desmond Mellor are still plotting to bring him and his chairman Hakim Bishara down, so they can take over Farthings.
Harry Clifton remains determined to get Anatoly Babakov released from a gulag in Siberia, following the international success of his acclaimed book, Uncle Joe. But then something unexpected happens that none of them could have anticipated.
