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.

This book was fascinating! I couldn't put it down.
This was a great book. A very fast read and definitely entertaining. I hated to put it down.
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 mail?
Why did a young woman with a brilliant career steal an impressionist painting?
Why was an honors graduate working as a temporary secretary after inheriting a fortune?
Why was a senior FBI agent trying to work out the connection between these apparently innocent individuals?
A breathtaking journey of twists and turns from New York to London, from Bucharest and on to Tokyo, ends up in a sleepy English village where the mystery surrounding Van Gogh's painting will finally be resolved.
An easy, fast, fun read. Good edge of your seat thriller.
Loved this book!! Full of intrique.This is about a Van Gogh self-portrait painting, involving art dealers,FBI and murder.

A breathtaking journey of twists and turns from New York to London, from Bucharest and on to Tokyo, ends up in a sleepy English village where the mystery surrounding Van Gogh's last painting will finally be resolved.
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.
