False Impression
reviewed on + 92 more book reviews


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!
