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.

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