And Thereby Hangs a Tale

And Thereby Hangs a Tale Synopsis

'A gift for plot that can only be described as genius' - The Daily Telegraph

A collection of fifteen pulse-pounding short stories from the number one internationally bestselling author Jeffrey Archer.

A man and woman fall in love at a red light. A golf ball falling out of a Christmas cracker changes the course of a young man's life. A priceless Renaissance oil painting, held by one family for generations, presents a modern-day owner with a tough decision. And an elderly couple's centenary birthday celebrations mask a shocking secret.

In these tales Jeffrey Archer will whisk you from India to Italy, Germany to the Channel Islands. Some stories will make you laugh, others will bring you to tears, but each demonstrates Jeffrey's mastery of characterization and suspense, and gift for the unexpected, jaw-dropping plot twist.

And Thereby Hangs A Tale is an enthralling set of short stories from the bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick series.
