False Impression

The tale unfolds in New York, where Anna Petrescu is missing, presumed

dead, after 9/11. She uses her new status to escape from America, only

to be pursued across the world from Toronto to London, to Hong Kong,

Tokyo and Bucharest as she tries to find answers to the following

questions:

Why was an aristocratic old lady brutally murdered in her English

country home the night before 9/11?

Why was a successful New York banker not surprised to receive a

woman's left ear in the morning post?

Why did a top Manhattan lawyer only work for one client, but never

charge a fee?

Why was an Olympic gymnast paid a million dollars an assignment, when

she didn't have a bank account?

Why was an Honours graduate working as a temporary secretary after

inheriting a fortune?

Why was an English Countess ready to kill the banker, the lawyer, and

the gymnast, even if it meant spending the rest of her life in jail?

Why was a Japanese steel magnate happy to hand over $50,000,000 to a

woman he had only met once?

Why was a senior FBI agent trying to work out what the connection was

between these eight apparently innocent individuals?

It will take all the resources of the FBI and Interpol to work out the

connection between this seemingly disparate cast of characters. The

one thing they all have in common is Van Gogh's Self-Portrait with a

Bandaged Ear. Full of twists and turns and heart-stopping intrigue,

False Impression is guaranteed to pull you into its cleverly

constructed web and not let you go until the final page.

A Twist in the Tale

Meet the philandering husband who thinks he's committed the perfect

murder; the self-assured chess champion who plays a beautiful woman

for stakes far higher than cash; and the finance minister who needs to

crack the secrets of a Swiss bank. Jeffrey Archer's collection of

twelve spellbinding stories will sweep you on a journey of thwarted

ambition, undying passion, and unswerving honour that you'll never
