The story continues in the utterly unputdownable third novel from Jeffrey Archer's compelling saga. It's 1945 and the vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie, sending reverberations through the lives of both the Barrington and Clifton families... Archer's other internationally bestselling novels include "Kane & Abel", "A Prisoner Of Birth" and "Cat O'Nine Tales", with sales of over 270 million copies. 'This is a tale about love, treachery, deceit, decency and good triumphing over evil. It is quite captivating...' Jerry Hayes, "Spectator"
