Jeffrey Deaver is already winging his way to the Emirates Lit Fest where he is to be the headline star at a Bond-themed evening on January 17th.

"I'm quite excited about returning to Dubai to take part in this James Bond-inspired Emirates Lit Fest event. During my last trip, I found Dubai to be a truly inspirational city - a place of awe-inspiring sights, fascinating cultures and remarkable people," Deaver said.

The audience will be among the first to hear a little bit about his new book Project X. He has already revealed that it is set in the present day and takes place in a number of exotic locations around the world.

Most recently, the author announced via his Twitter account that both the title of the mystery novel and its dust jacket will be revealed at this event.

"Very honored to be on my way to Dubai, where we'll announce the new Bond title and book cover! More details later..." wrote Deaver.

The American thriller writer is the latest author to pen an Adult continuation novel for Ian Fleming Publications.
