Reviews
On Sep 12 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
This is a masterfully written mystery suspense thriller that will draw you in from page one, until you close the book for the final time, and long afterward. Jeffrey Archer's seventh novel stretches from World War Two to modern day, and around the globe. Archer's intriguing story centers on a captain, Adam Scott, and his recently deceased father, a retired colonel. And, his father's decades old secret, that had driven him from a WW2 hero, to a broken and disgraced man. That secret becomes Adam's final bequeathment from his father, and leads him to a Swiss vault, where he finds a priceless Russian Fourteenth century work of art. The unfolding events thereafter become so ominous that they could change the whole balance of power between America and the Soviet Union forevermore. This is Jeffery Archer at his very best, of Hitchcockian proportions.
