Twelve short stories from Jeffrey Archer, each built so the last page rearranges what came before.
The collection ranges across ambition, deception, chance and misplaced certainty, with settings that shift from courtroom to countryside and a twist held back in every case. Archer writes the stories short enough to finish in a sitting, which makes the book an easy one to keep in a bag for travel or short reading breaks.
How the stories work:
• Twelve self-contained stories, each turning on a late reveal
• Crime, mystery and moral dilemma handled in compact form
• Individual pieces short enough to read between other commitments
• English short-story edition, ISBN 9781509808410
A sound choice for readers new to Jeffrey Archer, for short-story collectors and as a gift for someone who reads in the gaps of a busy week, available through Boipoka.
