A Twist in the Tale
First published 1989 - Hodder &
Stoughton
No one can weave a web of suspense, deliver
a jolt of surprise, or teach a lesson in living like bestselling
author Jeffrey Archer. From Africa to the Middle East, and from
London to Beijing, Archer takes us to places we've never seen
and introduces us to people we'll never forget.
Meet the philandering husband who thinks
he's committed the perfect murder; the self-assured chess champion
who plays a beautiful woman for stakes far higher than cash; and
the finance minister who needs to crack the secrets of a Swiss
bank. Jeffrey Archer's collection of twelve spellbinding stories
will sweep you on a journey of thwarted ambition, undying passion,
and unswerving honour that you'll never forget.
Probably the greatest storyteller of our age.
-- Mail on Sunday
Cunning plots, silken style . . . Archer plays a cat-and-mouse game with the reader.
--The New York Times
