Cat O’ Nine Tales by Jeffery Archer
Cat O’Nine Tales: And Other Stories
An irresistible collection of short stories from Jeffrey Archer. An English lord required one more chess piece to complete a set that would be worth a fortune. Another man, an accountant, realizes he’s achieved nothing in his life – and sets out to make a fortune before he retires. And then there is the author’s own favorite, “In the Eye of the Beholder”, about a star athlete who has a fateful run-in with a three-hundred-pound woman. some of these twelve stories were inspired by the two years Jeffrey Archer spent in prison, including “Don’t Drink the Water”, the tale of a company chairman who tries to poison his wife while on a trip to St. Petersburg – with unexpected consequences. Witty, suspenseful, sad, surprising, and unforgettable.
