Lord Archer died “suddenly and peacefully” at home on Monday, between writing sessions, according to HarperCollins.
The author, who has sold more than 300 million books worldwide, had been signing books and meeting fans until the day before his death, when he appeared at a sold out event at the Leicester Square Theatre in London.
His final book, Adam and Eve, is being published globally on Tuesday by HarperCollins.
