This may very well be Archer's best book to date. Whether you like art or not, this is one thriller that takes you all over the globe and back again. Once you start, I predict you will have a hard time putting it down until you have read the whole thing.

As always, Jeffrey Archer provides us with his elegant style and this time in the form of a daring theft of a priceless painting, bloodly killings, global chases, greed beyond belief and even a love story! Mr. Archer does it all, he has imagination, the skill to make it all come together and he's a master of words. I guarantee you will sit up at the end and say YES! as everyone gets their reward.

Jeffrey Archer is a master storyteller and this
2006 novel about the theft of a priceless Van Gogh is one of his best!

Jeffrey Archer is an excellent storyteller. He combines mystery, information (in this case art history), and social commentary in a fast-moving, witty book.
Totally enjoyable read. Covered a woman's successful run out of the North Tower, in time, on 9/11. The whole story was very interesting. I will definitely be reading MORE of Jeffrey Archer's work. I'd not read anything by him prior to this book.

Ten years ago, Leeman Hayes, a black teenager was accused of brutally murdering a young woman with a golf club at a posh country club. Now the case is finally going to court. As attorney Ben Kinkaid struggles to pull together a defence, a young boy is falling into the clutch of a child molester and pornographer. When 10 year old Abie Rutherford disappears without a trace, Ben Kinkaid, like the others fears the worse. Then a bone-chilling discovery forges a link between the case of Abie and the case of Leeman.
Makes you sit on the edge of your seat.
