Book description
These fourteen stories show Jeffrey Archer's great skills with a wide
variety of character, of subject and of setting, but all with that
trademark twist in the tail. Every reader will have their own
favourites: the choices run from love at first sight across the train
tracks to the cleverest of confidence tricks, from the quirks of the
legal profession -- and those who are able to manipulate both sides of
the Bar -- to the creative financial talents of a member of Her
Majesty's diplomatic service -- but for a good cause. The last story,
'The Grass is Always Greener', is possibly the best piece Archer has
written, and will haunt you for the rest of your life. Jeffrey Archer,
whose novels and short stories include
Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less
, Kane and Abel
and A Twist in the Tale
, has topped the bestseller lists around the world, with sales of over
210 million copies. Paths of Glory
, his most recent novel, was a global number one bestseller and remained
on the Sunday Times
bestseller list for ten weeks. The author is married with two children,
and lives in London and Cambridge. www. jeffreyarcher. com
