Writers on Reading Jeffery Deaver on J.R.R. Tolkien
 | The Lord of the Rings first-edition trilogy, beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring released in 1954, fetches between $7,500-$12,500
in very good condition. |
There are so many important writers I've been inspired by. But the writer who has influenced me the most isn't a mystery or thriller writer, it's J.R.R. Tolkien.
Jeffery Deaver's latest book is XO (Simon & Schuster, June 2012).
"Writers on Reading" is a special ongoing Mystery Scene series available as a first look exclusive to our newsletter subscribers.
