Cat O’ Nine Tales książka papierowa

A collection of twelve gripping short stories from the number one internationally bestselling author Jeffrey Archer, illustrated by the internationally acclaimed artist Ronald Searle, creator of Molesworth.

A company chairman tries to poison his wife while on a trip to St Petersburg. A con artist ends up in the morgue after using the police chief as bait in his latest scam. From behind bars, a convict manages to remove an old enemy and then set up two prison officers as his alibi. And an accountant realizes he has achieved nothing in his life, so sets out to make a fortune before he retires.

These tales are ingeniously plotted, with richly drawn characters and deliciously unexpected conclusions. Some were inspired by the two years Jeffrey Archer spent in prison, and all feature the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know, as well as a host of poignant and telling characters. As a collection, they confirm Jeffrey Archer’s position as a master storyteller.

Cat O’ Nine Tales is an enthralling set of short stories from the bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick series.
