Sir Michael Caine is to publish his debut thriller novel later this year.
The veteran British actor, 90, said he was "delighted" to announce the book, titled Deadly Game, which is due to be published in November.
Published by Hodder and Stoughton, the novel follows the adventures of DCI Harry Taylor, a detective with "no respect for red tape or political reputations."
Deadly Game is described as "a compelling, fast-paced novel of international intrigue and twisting suspense from a legendary actor and British icon."
Caine has appeared in more than 160 films in a career spanning seven decades.
He is well known for his roles in classic films including Zulu, The Italian Job, and more recently Interstellar and DC’s The Dark Knight franchise.
Though Deadly Game is his first fiction novel, he has already produced several autobiographical works including What’s It All About? in 1992, and The Elephant To Hollywood in 2010.
