by Jeffrey Archer First came his financial caper NOT A PENNY MORE, NOT A PENNY LESS. Then a political thriller SHALL WE TELL THE PRESIDENT? Then the brilliant bestsellers KANE AND ABEL and THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER Now Jeffrey Archer has taken up a new challenge with this, his first collection of short stories. The locations move from New York and London to Mexico and Nigeria. Each tale reveals the author's talents as a short storyteller, and, as befits the form, he uses the stories to build up a small cast of characters and then shock the reader with an unexpected final twist. Few people will guess the endings of any of the tales, and everyone will have their own favourite. What is certain is that with this archer every story unerringly hits its mark!
