*****

Two friends fall under the spell of a New York beauty, with an unexpected outcome. A casual remark is taken seriously by a Chinese sculptor, and the British Ambassador becomes the owner of a priceless work of art. An insurance claims adviser has a most surprising encounter on the train home to Sevenoaks. And a bitter rivalry between two undergraduates at Oxford in the 1930s ends in a memorable love story.

From London to China, New York to Nigeria, Jeffrey Archer takes the reader on a tour of ancient heirlooms and modern romance; of cut-throat business and kindly strangers; of lives spent in realms of power and lives liberated from the gloom of oppression. Fortunes are made and squandered, honour betrayed and redeemed, and love lost and rediscovered in these twelve spellbinding tales.
