The Sins of the Father (The Clifton Chronicles)

Engrossing and memorable, The Sins of the Father, the second novel in international bestseller Jeffrey Archer's celebrated the Clifton Chronicles, takes us to New York in 1939 where our hero Harry Clifton is in desperate need of help.


Only days before Britain declares war on Germany, Harry joins the Merchant Navy, unable to face long-held family secrets and the fact he will never be able to marry his true love Emma Barrington. But when his ship is sunk mid-Atlantic, Harry takes the opportunity to assume the identity of one his deceased rescuers and begin a new life.


Landing in America, he quickly discovers he has made a mistake and without any way to prove his true identity, Harry is now chained to a past that could be far worse than the one he had hoped to escape . . .


Brimming with intrigue, Jeffrey Archer takes readers into a world they will never want to leave as the Clifton Chronicles continues its powerful journey with family loyalties stretched to their limits and fates decided.
