TY - BOOK AU - Archer,Jeffrey TI - To cut a long story short SN - 9780007773596 U1 - FIC ARC PY - 2001/// CY - London PB - HarperCollins publishers KW - Fiction N2 - These fourteen stories show Jeffrey Archer's great skills with a wide variety of character, of subject and of setting, but all with that trademark twist in the tail. 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 Majesty's 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. ER -
