Summary
The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller
Nothing Ventured is the first novel in the incredible and thrilling William Warwick series by Jeffrey Archer, the master storyteller and bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel.
This is not a detective story, this is a story about a detective.
William Warwick is eight when he decides to join the police force. Resolute in the face of his prominent QC father’s objections, William graduates in Art History from university and immediately enrols as a constable in the Metropolitan Police.
Gaining insight from his first mentor, an experienced, world-weary constable, his keen mind quickly takes him into a role in Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques unit and his first case: the recovery of a Rembrandt stolen from the Fitzmolean Museum.
It will take skill and tenacity for William to solve the crime, and along the way he will encounter many who will change his life, from Miles Faulkner, a crooked art collector, and his influential lawyer – who bends the law to the point of breaking – to research assistant Beth Rainsford, a woman with secrets who he falls hopelessly in love with . . .
William Warwick’s destiny is set, the only question is, how far will his ambition take him? Thrilling, absorbing and entertaining, Nothing Ventured heralds the start of a new series from master storyteller Jeffrey Archer and introduces a character destined to become one of his most enduring legacies.
Continue the gripping series with Hidden in Plain Sight.

Loved it!
Well written by Jeffrey Archer and narrated by George Blagden. The characters have been built up well and we’re left with the twist which must obviously lead us into the next book in the series. I loved the Clifton Chronicles, so I’m pleased to be introduced to William Wallace in more detail. I can’t wait to read book 2 in this series

Cracking start to the new series
I really enjoyed the author's Clifton Chronicles series and so was delighted to learn of this new one. It certainly doesn't disappoint. Two compelling stories captured my attention and kept me engrossed. Stories that combine topics that Mr Archer knows about: art, court cases and prisons. The book ends with a cliff-hanger so I hope that the author is hard at work on book 2.
The narrator is excellent. One tend to not notice when a narrator is good yet a poor one can ruin and otherwise good book.
