The fourteen short stories in To Cut a Long Story Short show Jeffrey Archers great skills with a wide variety of character, of subject and of setting, but all with that trademark twist in the tale.

Every reader will have their own favourites: the choices run from love at first sight across the train tracks to the cleverest of confidence tricks, from the quirks of the legal profession and those who are able to manipulate both sides of the Bar to the creative financial talents of a member of Her Majestys diplomatic service but for a good cause. The last story, The Grass is Always Greener, is possibly the best piece Archer has written, and will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Stylish, witty and constantly entertaining . . . Jeffrey Archer has a natural aptitude for short stories - The Times

A collection of fourteen riveting short stories from the number one internationally bestselling author Jeffrey Archer.

An intoxicating woman appears to her lover only once every six years. A British diplomat employs his rather creative if not entirely ethical financial talents for a greater good. And a millionaire declares himself bankrupt to test the love and loyalties of those closest to him.

These riveting tales of elaborate confidence tricks, political chicanery, immoral behaviour, and dangerously illicit affairs are rendered with the breath-taking narrative twists that have become the Jeffrey Archer hallmark. Peopled with a rich assortment of truly memorable characters, these stories will engross and astonish.

To Cut A Long Story Short is an enthralling set of short stories from the bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick series.
