Book Description
This book set includes Jeffrey Arsher’s works: A Twist in the Tale, First among Equals, , A Quiver Full of Arrows, The Prodigal Daughter and Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less.
A Twist in the Tale
The expected never happens…
A lover calls unexpectedly on his mistress and watches another man leave her flat. He accuses her of being unfaithful, quarrels with her, and strikes her. She dies.
Leaving unnoticed, he tips off the police to ensure the other man is arrested and charged… Has he achieved the perfect murder?
A TANTALIZING OPENING TO A TWIST IN THE TALE
Consider also: a wine-tasting with a bizarre difference, a game of sex with a beautiful stranger, a violent row in a golf clubhouse bar, a rivalry founded on eating cornflakes…just some of the openings in this cunningly constructed, fast-moving, entertaining set of stories from the bestselling author of our time.
First among Equals
PLAYING FOR THE HIGHEST STAKES OF ALL…
In the 1960s, four ambitious new MPs take their seats at Westminster. Over three decades they share the turbulent passions of the race for power with their wives and families men and women caught up in a dramatic game for the highest stakes of all. But only one man can gain the ultimate prize – the office of Prime Minister…
A Quiver Full of Arrows
TWO FRIENDS FALL UNDER THE SPELL OF A NEW YORK BEAUTY – WITH AN UNEXPECTED OUTCOME
A casual remark is taken seriously by a Chinese sculptor , and the British Ambassador becomes the owner of a priceless work of art…
The openings to three stories from this marvelous collection, which ends with a hauntingly written, atmospheric account of two undergraduates at Oxford in the 1930s, a tale of bitter rivalry that turns into a memorable love story.
The Prodigal Daughter
HERS WAS THE ULTIMATE AMBITION….
The magnificent story of love and politics that continues the saga of Kane and Abel.
The titanic battle between two men obsessed with destroying each other follows on into the next generation. Florentyna Rosnovski, Abel’s daughter, inherits all her father’s drive, but – as he excludes her from his will – none of his wealth. A woman gifted with beauty and intelligence, but above all an indomitable spirit, she sets out in pursuit of an ambition that dwarfs both Kane and Abel, as she battles for the highest office of all…
Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less
DON’T GET MEAN, GET EVEN…
One million dollars – that’s what Harvey Metcalfe, lifelong king of shady deals, ha pulled off with empty promises of an oil bonanza and instant riches. Overnight, four men – the heir to an earldom, a Harley Street doctor, a Bond Street art dealer and an Oxford don – find themselves penniless. But this time Harvey has swindled the wrong men. They band together and shadow him from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot and the hallowed lawns of Oxford.
Their plan is simple:
to sting Harvey for exactly what he took from them – not a penny more, not a penny less.
