Expect the unexpected...
A wrongly convicted murderer exacts a
flawless plan of revenge... Headlights in a rear-view mirror tail
a female traveller on a lonely stretch of road... A serial bride
secures her future by marrying only the wealthiest of men... An
escaped Iraqi with a price on his head pays an involuntary visit
to his homeland... A brush with death proves the biggest break
of an aspiring artist's career...Two strangers, struck by lust-at-first-sight,
consider a myriad of possibilities for where the day will take
them.
... and you'll still be surprised.
Because nothing is what it seems.
Bestselling author Jeffrey Archer, "one
of the most captivating storytellers writing today" (Pittsburgh
Press) engages the reader in a cunning game of cat-and-mouse as
he spins twelve ingenious tales of duplicity, love, murder and
revenge, each capped with a startling twist. But be careful, for
buried in each tale is a red herring -- a wicked diversion that
Archer challenges readers to uncover for themselves. Artfully
entertaining and suspenseful, this is Jeffrey Archer at his inventive
best. |
