New Delhi, Feb 6
British author Jeffrey Archer will give the capital a miss when he heads out for a five-city tour of India to promote his new book in March, his publishers said Friday.

The 75-year-old will be promoting "Mightier Than The Sword", which is the final book of the "Clifton Chronicles" series.

The author will be travelling to Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

Published by Pan Macmillan, the thriller opens with an Irish Republican Army bomb exploding during MV Buckingham's maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean.

Archer, the author of bestsellers like "Only Time Will Tell", "The Sins of the Father" and "Best Kept Secret", had visited India last year and in 2013 to promote the third and fourth volumes of "The Clifton Chronicles".
