‘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*****A collection of twelve captivating short stories from the number one internationally bestselling author Jeffrey Archer. A wrongly convicted murderer exacts a flawless plan of revenge. Headlights in a rearview mirror pursue a female traveler on a lonely stretch of road. A serial bride secures her future by marrying only the wealthiest of men. And an escaped Iraqi with a price on his head pays an involuntary visit to his homeland. From Cambridge to New York, Hertfordshire to Istanbul, Jeffrey Archer explores what happens when people are put under pressure: how they will react when they have an opportunity to seize, a crucial problem to solve, a danger to avoid? But expect the unexpected and you’ll still be surprised, because buried in each tale is a red herring – a wicked diversion that Archer challenges readers to uncover for themselves. Twelve Red Herrings is an artfully entertaining, suspenseful set of stories from the bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick series.
