Book description
Taken from Jeffrey Archer's fifth collection of short stories,
Cat O' Nine Tales
, comes this irresistible, witty and ingenious short read.
Gian Lorenzo Venici and Paolo Castelli both excelled from their
earliest days at school right through to the prime of their careers:
Gian in academia and eventually as the most highly regarded art dealer
in Italy; Paolo as a football star captain for Roma. After a
career-finishing injury, Paolo announces his unlikely engagement to
Angelina Porcelli - a lady 'only Rubens' would have found beautiful, and
heiress to the largest pharmaceutical company in Italy. The pre-nup
clearly stated that Paolo would get nothing thing were they to divorce -
Gian can only conclude that Paolo's love for her is as genuine as
Angelina's emerging love of great art. So when Angelina shows interest
in the private collection of one of Gian's wealthy clients, he is more
than happy to help negotiate . . .
Jeffrey Archer, whose
bestselling novels span from Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less
to Kane and Abel and The Eleventh Commandment, has sold
millions of books throughout the world. His collections of short
stories include A Quiver Full of Arrows and Twelve Red
Herrings. The author is married with two children.
