内容简介
The latest short-story collection from the master storyteller.The fourteen-all new-stories show Jeffrey Archer's great skills with a wide variety of character,of subjet and of setting.but all with that tradmark twist in the tall.
Every reader will have their own favourites:the choices run from love at first sight across the train tracks to the cleverest of confidence tricks,from the quirks of the legal profession-and those who are able to manipulate both sides of the Bar-to the creative financial talents of a member of Her Majesty's diplomatic service-but for a good cause.The last story,‘The Grass is Always Greener',is possibly the best piece Archer has written,and will haunt you for the rest of your life.
