Book Description:
When an aristocratic old lady is brutally murdered in her English country home on the night before September 11, 2001, it will take all the resources of the FBI and Interpol to work out the connection between her death and a priceless Van Gogh, which is stolen that night.
But in the end, it is a courageous young woman who escapes from North Tower of the World Trade Center after the first plane crashes into the building, who has the foresight and determination to take on both sides of the law and avenge the old lady’s death.
The young woman, Anna Petrescu, takes advantage of being missing and presumed dead in the days after 9/11 to escape from New York City, only to be pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless assassin across the globe, from Toronto to London, to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bucharest. But it is only when she finally returns to New York that the mystery unravels.
In his first thriller since The Eleventh Commandment, international bestselling author Jeffrey Archer takes the reader on a breathtaking journey, full of twists and turns, all leading back to the question of why so many people are willing to risk their lives to own Van Gogh’s Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear. And it’s not just because it could be worth one hundred million dollars.

It's hard to believe there's not a waiting line for this book. In typical Archer fashion, this is a tale well told. From the fly leaf:
*Why was an elegant lady brutally murdered the night before 9/11?
*Why was a successful New York banker not surprised to receive a woman's left ear in the morning mail?
*Why did a top Manhattan lawyer work only for one client, but never charge a fee?
*Why did a young woman with a bright career steal a priceless Van Gogh painting?
*Why was an Olympic gymnast paid a million dollars an assignment when she didn't have a bank account?
*Why was an honors graduate working as a temporary secretary after inheriting a fortune?
*Why was an English Countess ready to kill the banker, the lawyer and the gymnast even if it meant spending the rest of her life in jail?
*Why was a Japanese steel magnate happy to hand over $50 million to a woman he had met only once?
These questions and more, all of which are answered, form the dramatic, riveting plot of this Archer book. A cannot-put-down read!

Why was a senior FBI agent trying to work out the connection between these eight apparently innocent individuals?
All these questions are answered in Jeffrey Archer's latest novel, False Impression, but not before a breathtaking journey of twists and turns that will take readers from New York to London to Bucharest and on to Tokyo, and finally to a sleepy English village, where the mystery of VanGogh's last painting will finally be resolved.
And only then will readers discover that VanGogh's self-portrait with Bandaged Ear has a secret of its own that acts as the final twist in this unforgettable yarn.
