Jeffrey Archer on 5-city Indian tour next month

Bestselling British author Jeffrey Archer will be on a five-city tour of India to promote his upcoming book but Delhi won't be a stop during his trip this time.
"Mightier than the Sword", the fifth and final book in the compelling "Clifton Chronicles" series will be released on February 24.
Archer, 75, will travel to Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata from March 2-6 as part of his Pan Macmillan Crossword Bookstores tour.
Archer has a great fan following in India and has been a frequent visitor. He says he enjoys the "cosmopolitan feel of Mumbai, the beauty of New Delhi, the energy of Kolkata, and the friendliness of Hyderabad".

He had visited India last year and in 2013 to promote the fourth and fifth volumes of the "The Clifton Chronicles", a saga that crosses continents, and one which in which the lives and loves of Harry, Emma and Giles are tested through friendship, betrayal, and intrigue.
The author of bestsellers like "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less", "Kane and Abel", "As the Crow Flies" and "First Among Equals" terms India as an amazing market.

"Indians love storytellers. You are a very large leadership. There are 200-250 million middle class readers in India. This is bigger readership than America. So India is an amazing market," he told PTI in an earlier interview.

The fourth volume was named "Be Careful What You Wish For" and the third "Best Kept Secret".
With all the trademark twists and turns that have made him one of the world's most popular authors, the spellbinding story of the Clifton and the Barrington families continues in "Mightier than the Sword".
"Mightier than the Sword" opens with an IRA bomb exploding during the MV Buckingham's maiden voyage across the Atlantic.
