What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
I hope it may be some consolation for them to know what pleasure Jeffrey brought to me and to so many millions of readers through the pages of his works.
Archer sold over 300 million copies worldwide during his five-decade writing career and was known for pacy thrillers such as his 1976 debut Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less and the Kane and Abel series.
Kate Elton, HarperCollins' UK CEO and Archer's editor, said in a statement: "We're all devastated to have lost a writer who has brought joy to generations of readers - and a true friend." REUTERS
Archer had initially won £500,000 in damages, but was later found to have lied about the circumstances surrounding the case.
