Tell TaleMacmillan, RRP $39.99, Hardback
Master storyteller Jeffrey Archer returns with Tell Tale, a
new collection of brilliant short stories. Poignant, engrossing and
captivating; this is Archer at his spellbinding best.
"Stylish, witty and constantly entertaining ... Jeffrey
Archer has a natural aptitude for short stories." The Times
Nearly a decade after his last volume of short stories was
published, Archer returns with his eagerly-awaited, brand-new collection Tell
Tale, giving us a fascinating, exciting and sometimes poignant insight into the
people he has met, the stories he has come across and the countries he has
visited during the past ten years.
Find out what happens to the hapless young detective from
Naples who travels to an Italian hillside town to find out Who Killed the
Mayor? and the pretentious schoolboy in A Road to Damascus, whose discovery of
the origins of his father's wealth changes his life in the most profound way.
Revel in the stories of the 1930s woman who dares to challenge the men at her
Ivy League University in A Gentleman and A Scholar while another young woman
who thumbs a lift gets more than she bargained for in A Wasted Hour.
These wonderfully engaging and always refreshingly original
tales prove not only why Archer has been compared by the critics to Dahl and
Maugham, but why he was described by The Times as probably the greatest
storyteller of our age.
