THINGS ARE NEVER QUITE WHAT THEY SEEM
Jeffrey Archer, the internationally bestselling author of HONOR AMONG THIEVES, AS THE CROW FLIES, and KANE & ABEL, now serves up this inventive new collection of a dozen charactes and ingeniously plotted story lines, each of the twelve pieces ends with a delightfully unexpected turn of events.
An imprisoned man is certain that his supposed murder victim is very much alive... A female driver is pursued relentlessly by a menacing figure in another vehicle... A young artist gets the biggest break of her career... A restless beauty manages the perfect birthday celebration... An escaped Iraqi on Saddam Hussein's death list pays an involuntary visit to his homeland. In each tale, human beings are given an opportunity to seize, a crucial promlem to solve, or a danger to avoid. How will they react? How would you? Capping off, the collection are two additional rewards. In the final story, Archer offers a choice of four endings. And buried in each story is another diverstion - a red herring - which Archer challenges his readers to uncover. Twelve is a perfect score - good luck.
"One of the top ten storytellers in the world." - Los Angeles Times
