Description
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 short stories with a twist. Cleverly styled, with richly drawn characters 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 problem 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 diversion a red herring which Archer challenges his readers to uncover.
