'Probably the greatest storyteller of our age' - The Mail on Sunday
Would you risk your life for a painting? Globe-spanning and truly page-turning, False Impression is a compulsive thriller from Jeffrey Archer, bestselling author of The Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick novels.
The night before the attacks of 9/11, an older, aristocratic woman is brutally murdered in her country home. It takes all the resources of both the FBI and Interpol to deduce the motive for her death: a priceless Van Gogh painting. It takes a courageous, determined young woman - who was in the North Tower as the first plane crashed - to take on both sides of the law and avenge the woman's death.
After 9/11, Anna Petrescu is missing, presumed dead. But she is alive, and uses her new status to escape from America - only to be pursued across the world, from Toronto to London, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bucharest. But it is only upon her return to New York that the mystery unfolds . . .
Why are so many people willing to risk their own lives and others to own the Van Gogh 'Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear'?
