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.

Generally nice light reading but the story seemed to cut off short at the end but I look forward to reading the next book.

‘Next in Line’ is Book 5 in Jeffrey Archer’s Detective William Warwick series. It is set in 1988, not long after the events of ‘Over My Dead Body’.
In it the focus of Detective William Warwick and his team moves on to the elite Royalty Protection Command. There are concerns with how its commanding officer is running the unit and an investigation is launched. Meanwhile ex-undercover operative Ross Hogan is charged with a very sensitive responsibility as he becomes the close protection officer of one of the royal family.
Meanwhile, there are more shenanigans from Miles Faulkner as well as a serious security threat to the Crown from a renegade organisation.
I am now caught up with the series, having read Book 6 recently. So I just have the wait for the next in the series.
4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
