Description

In this short story collection by Jeffrey Archer, a dying man doesn't know which of his relations to leave his fortune to, only to find out who really cares about him. A chance overheard conversation changes the course of an entire man's life. A woman savors every word of a letter from her lover while her husband reads over her shoulder. A criminal on the loose confesses that he is desperate to be caught. A widowed mother learns the cold truth about her second husband at the dawn of her third marriage. A pencil, the cruelest of the artist's tools, leaves nothing to chance… in To Cut a Long Story Short.

This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

“[Archer] is a master of fiction...Jeffrey Archer has the strange gift denied to many who think themselves more serious novelists.

“ Archer can plot a story.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Sins of the Father
