R150.00
This edition brings together three of Jeffrey Archer’s classic collections of short stories: To Cut a Long Story Short, Cat O’Nine Tales and And Thereby Hangs a Tale, showcasing the master storyteller’s skill like never before.
From a story of love at first sight across the train tracks, to a tale about the cleverest of confidence tricks; and from the world of Her Majesty’s diplomatic service and someone’s creative financial talents, to that of the legal profession and those able to manipulate both sides of the Bar – every reader will have their own favourites.
In ‘Caste-Off’, Jamwal and Nisha fall in love while waiting for a traffic light to turn green in Delhi, and in ‘Don’t Drink The Water’, a company chairman tries to poison his wife while on a trip to St Petersburg – with unexpected consequences.
The stories held in these pages are irresistible: ingeniously plotted, with richly drawn characters and deliciously unexpected conclusions.
