Description:
'A writer with a magician-like ability to tell a story'—The Week

'Lord Jeffrey Archer is definitely a storyteller, and one of the best at that —The Hindu

This Archer's quiver is full of tales.'—Deccan Herald This edition of short stories, bringing together the short stories from three collections by Jeffrey Archer, showcases the master storyteller's skill like never before.

Every reader will have their own favourites: the choices run from love at first sight across the train tracks to the cleverest of confidence tricks, from the quirks of the legal profession — and those who are able pint to Pan to manipulate both sides of the Bar — to the creative financial talents of a member of Her Majesty's diplomatic service — but for a good cause. 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. Some will make you laugh. Others will bring you to tears. And, as always, every one of them will keep you spellbound.
