What-will-happen-next reading."-Kirkus Reviews"No family saga would be complete without a villain, and this book has a good one, a well-drawn and believable character whose motivations are understandable. This thoroughly engaging old-school, multigenerational saga harks back to the work of Malcolm Macdonald, Belva Plain, and Irwin Shaw."- Booklist "Archer knows how to dole out tiny crumbs of suspense right up to the last page, which ends with... a really excellent cliffhanger."- Washington Post, A storyteller in the class of Alexander Dumas…Unsurpassed skill…making the reader wonder intensely what will happen next., A storyteller in the class of Alexander Dumas...Unsurpassed skill...making the reader wonder intensely what will happen next.

Others will stop at nothing to ensure the Clifton family's fall from grace. In London, Harry and Emma's son, Sebastian, is quickly making a name for himself at Farthing's Bank. He's also just proposed to a beautiful young American, Samantha. But the despicable Adrian Sloane is only interested in one thing: Sebastian's ruin. Sir Giles Barrington, now a minister of the Crown, looks set for even higher office-until a diplomatic failure in Berlin threatens his prospects.

Jeffrey Archer at his Best!
The Clifton Chronicles series is the best to date from Jeffrey Archer. I found it extremely difficult to put down a book once started. The most difficult part was completing a book and having to wait almost a year for the following. If you enjoy a good novel with excellent character development and a plot with many twists and turns, you will enjoy the Clifton Chronicles. I have read nearly all of Jeffery Archers books and would rate this series very near the top. Enjoy!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
