In een verhaal dat decennia en continenten omspant, laat Jeffrey Archer je meeleven met hun lotgevallen en brengt hij op grandioze wijze een voorbij tijdperk tot leven. Het leven lacht Harry en Emma Clifton eindelijk toe: Harry is bezig een boek te schrijven dat zijn magnum opus lijkt te worden, en Emma krijgt van niemand minder dan Margaret Thatcher een wel heel aantrekkelijk aanbod voor een nieuwe baan. Ook met hun zoon Sebastian en zijn vrouw Samantha gaat het goed, hoewel hun eeuwige rivale Lady Virginia nog steeds alles op alles zet om de familie een hak te zetten. Maar dan gebeurt er iets dramatisch dat het leven van de hele Clifton-familie op zijn kop zet…

'Er is me altijd verteld dat mijn vader in de oorlog was gesneuveld.' Zo begint in 1920 het epische levensverhaal van Harry Clifton. Harry, de zoon van een havenarbeider in Bristol, heeft zijn vader nooit gekend. De verwachting is dat ook Harry een toekomst op de werf tegemoet gaat, maar dankzij een opmerkelijke gave wordt hij toegelaten tot een exclusieve jongensschool, waardoor zijn leven onomkeerbaar verandert. Als Harry een volwassen man is, komt hij er eindelijk achter hoe zijn vader echt aan zijn einde kwam. De verschrikkelijke waarheid leidt Harry naar een volgende vraag: was Arthur Clifton eigenlijk wel zijn vader? Is hij het kind van een arme havenwerker, of is hij de oudste zoon van de erfgenaam van een scheepsimperium?

Turn a Blind Eye is het derde deel in het meeslepende verhaal van inspecteur William Warwick. William Warwick, nu inspecteur, krijgt de taak om undercover te gaan en een andere soort misdaad bloot te leggen: corruptie binnen de Metropolitan Police Force. Zijn team richt zich op detective Jerry Summers, een jonge agent wiens levensstijl lijkt te veel te zijn voor zijn inkomen. Maar naarmate er een persoonlijke relatie ontstaat met een lid van Williams team, dreigt dit de hele zaak te compromitteren. Ondertussen staat een beruchte drugbaron terecht, met de aanklager in de zaak als Williams vader en zus. Williams vrouw Beth, nu moeder van een tweeling, hernieuwt een oude kennismaking met iemand die lijkt te zijn veranderd, of is dat niet het geval? Terwijl de undercoveragenten de draadjes samenbrengen, beseft William dat de corruptie dieper kan gaan dan hij dacht, en dat meer van zijn collega's misschien bereid zijn om een oogje dicht te knijpen.

Vlak voor het uitbreken van de Tweede Wereldoorlog neemt Harry Clifton dienst bij de marine om te ontsnappen aan de familiegeheimen en zijn teleurstelling dat hij nooit met Emma Barrington zal kunnen trouwen. Bij een schermutseling met de Duitsers op de Atlantische Oceaan wordt zijn schip tot zinken gebracht en slechts een handjevol overlevenden wordt opgepikt door een Amerikaans cruiseschip. Als Tom Bradshaw, een van Harry’s officieren, diezelfde nacht alsnog sterft, grijpt Harry zijn kans en neemt diens identiteit aan. Bij aankomst in New York beseft Harry dat hij een grote fout heeft gemaakt. De problemen die Tom Bradshaw bij zijn vertrek achterliet, konden wel eens veel groter zijn dan die van hemzelf, en Harry heeft geen enkele mogelijkheid meer zijn ware identiteit te bewijzen.

Twee Amerikaanse tweelingsbroers, die vlak na hun geboorte werden gescheiden en apart werden opgevoed, treffen elkaar na veertig jaar als rivalen bij de verkiezingen voor het gouverneurschap van hun staat.

"Dispute over land and kingdom may lie at the heart of this story of war between cousins, the Pandavas and the Kouravas, but the Mahabharata is about conflicts of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in the Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination."--Cover.

Patnáct povídek, patnáct originálních příběh - napínavých, dojemných i fascinujících… Zjistěte co se stane s bezradným mladým detektivem z Neapole, který cestuje do malého městečka vysoko v horách, aby pátral po zločinci v povídce “Kdo zabil starostu?”. Zažijte “Zásadní obrat” spolu s mladíkem, jehož život se nečekaně promění poté, co se dozví, odkud pochází otcovo bohatství. Seznamte se s doktorkou Burbageovou, která se v příběhu “Džentlmen a učenkyně” rozhodne postavit kolegům na universitě a prosadit se v do té doby mužském prostředí. Vydejte se stopem se studentkou Kelley, která se během svého dobrodružství v povídce “Promarněná hodina” dozví víc, než by si vůbec dokázala představit. Bestsellerový autor Jeffrey Archer se i v této povídkové knize inspiroval skutečnými lidmi, s nimiž se setkal, příběhy, které zaslechl, i zeměmi, které procestoval. Ponořte se do jeho vyprávění plného napínavých a úsměvných okamžiků i nečekaných konců.

Dva roky po válce v Perském zálivu nastupuje do úřadu americký prezident Clinton. Irácký diktátor Saddám Hussajn se rozhodne znemožnit jej hned zpočátku a irácká tajná služba za podpory mezinárodního zločinu uspořádá důmyslnou akci, v níž se jí podaří ukrást nejdůležitější americký dokument Prohlášení nezávislosti. Americká CIA a izraelský Mossad naopak usilují o likvidaci iráckého diktátora a tak probíhají promyšlené a napínavé a divoké akce. Agent CIA Scott Bradley a agentka Mossadu Hana Kopecová mají jen pár dnů k symbolickému i faktickému zachování demokratického světa.

Mladá kunsthistorička, pracující pro newyorského bankéře, má podezření, že klienti banky, kteří vlastní cenná umělecká díla, často umírají za podivných okolností. Dětská psycholožka se snaží pomoci záhadnému děvčátku, které se náhle objevilo z lesů, zanedbané a vyděšené. Mickey Haller, advokát bez kanceláře, pracuje na zadním sedadle vozu Lincoln, aby byl blízko svým klientům, jako jsou opilí řidiči a drogoví překupníci. Pro něj není právo otázkou viny či neviny, ale manipulace a vyjednávání. Když ho osloví playboy z Beverly Hills obviněný z napadení ženy, získává Haller prvního dobře placeného klienta a věří, že obhajuje nevinného. Avšak po vraždě policejního vyšetřovatele, který se přiblížil k pravdě, Haller zjistí, že přehlédl přítomnost skutečného zla. Aby unikl nebezpečí, musí využít všechny své schopnosti a zmanipulovat systém, kterému přestal důvěřovat. Krátce před největším dostihem sezony je unesen favorit, plnokrevník Cajun King. Novinář Ben Copperfield se o únosu dozvídá jako jeden z prvních, ale musí slíbit majiteli koně, že tuto informaci nezveřejní. Jeho profesionální zvědavost ho však nutí pátrat po okolnostech případu, což může být pro někoho nebezpečné.
