Description
'Jeffrey Archer has a gift for plot that can only be described as genius' - The Daily Telegraph A Quiver Full of Arrows is a fast-paced, enthralling set of stories from the bestselling author of The Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick series. ***** Two friends fall under the spell of a New York beauty, with an unexpected outcome. A casual remark is taken seriously by a Chinese sculptor, and the British Ambassador becomes the owner of a priceless work of art. An insurance claims adviser has a most surprising encounter on the train home to Sevenoaks. And a bitter rivalry between two undergraduates at Oxford in the 1930s ends in a memorable love story. From London to China, New York to Nigeria, Jeffrey Archer takes the reader on a tour of ancient heirlooms and modern romance; of cut-throat business and kindly strangers; of lives spent in realms of power and lives liberated from the gloom of oppression. Fortunes are made and squandered, honour betrayed and redeemed, and love lost and rediscovered in these twelve spellbinding tales. ***** Praise for Jeffrey Archer's short stories: 'Stylish, witty and constantly entertaining . . . Jeffrey Archer has a natural aptitude for short stories' - The Times 'Outstanding . . . white-knuckle suspense and witty denouements. Enjoyable, suspense-filled rival to Roald Dahl' - Daily Express 'Jeffrey Archer plays a subtle cat-and-mouse game with the reader in twelve original short stories that end, more often than not, with our collective whiskers twitching in surprise' - The New York Times 'Archer hits the bull's eye with an exemplary collection' - Daily Mail 'The economy and precision of Archer's prose never fails to delight. The criminal doesn't always get away with his crime and justice doesn't always prevail, but the reader wins with each and every story' - Publishers Weekly Jeffrey Archer's book Traitors Gate was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-09-25.
