The author of twenty-seven novels, two collections of short stories and a nonfiction law book, he's received or been shortlisted for a number of awards around the world. His The Bodies Left Behind was named Novel of the Year by the International Thriller Writers Association, and his Lincoln Rhyme thriller The Broken Window was also nominated for that prize. He has been awarded the Steel Dagger and Short Story Dagger from the British Crime Writers' Association and the Nero Wolfe Award, and he is a three-time recipient of the Ellery Queen Reader's Award for Best Short Story of the Year and a winner of the British Thumping Good Read.
Several of his books have been adapted for the screen, perhaps most famously in The Bone Collector which starred Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.
Excitingly, Jeffery has written the latest James Bond book, Carte Blanche.
“I'm delighted to be a participant in the Dundee Morgue Project. It's rare that authors have the opportunity to actually be involved in the subjects we write about and to give back to one of the professions that has so generously provided us with insight into the world we explore in our novels. I'm pleased to join my colleagues in encouraging awareness and support of this fine project.”
