The Collected Short Stories------pan macmillan
A collected edition of the master storyteller's short stories
This brand new edition brings together three of Jeffrey Archer’s classic collections of short stories.
Every reader will have their own favourites: the choices run from an
imprisoned man who is certain that his supposed murder victim is very
much alive, to a female driver pursued relentlessly by a menacing figure
in another vehicle. An offhand remark is taken seriously by a Chinese
sculptor in one tale, while a British diplomat unexpectedly becomes the
owner of a priceless work of art in another . . . And over three of the
stories, discover a hauntingly written, atmospheric account of two
undergraduates at Oxford in the thirties: a tale of bitter rivalry that
ends in a memorable love story.
These stories are packed full of the master storyteller’s unexpected
twists, richly drawn characters and ingenious, witty denouements – some
will make you laugh, others will bring you to tears. And, as always,
every one of them will keep you spellbound.
