Story
This is the story of a man who loved two women, and one of them killed him. Some people have dreams that are so outrageous that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Francis Drake, Robert Scott, Percy Fawcett, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong are among such individuals. But what if one man had such a dream, and when he'd achieved it, there was no proof that he had fulfilled his ambition?

Charlie's progress from the teeming streets of Whitechapel to the elegance of Chelsea Terrace is only a few miles as the crow flies.

Kane & Abel for a new generation!!

William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective and decides, much to his father’s dismay, that rather than become a barrister like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London’s Metropolitan Police Force. After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first high-stakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard’s arts and antiquities squad.

Publisher's Summary
He should never have opened the envelope....
Adam Scott listens to the reading of his father's will, aware that the contents can only be meagre. The Colonel, after all, had nothing to leave - except a letter he had never opened himself, a letter that can only bring further disgrace to the family name. Against his mother's advice, Adam opens the letter, and immediately realizes his life can never be the same again. The contents leave him with no choice but to follow a course his father would have described as a matter of honour.

Marvellous characters!
These Archer characters, you can feel the very fabric of them. The story is very strongly constructed on the character of these people. Terrible pity that the tale is so let down on what becomes a monologue that drags on. The audio production is far from pleasant , the speech compression makes the narrator so dreadfully tiresome. So I hope fellow reader that like myself you are an avid Archer reader and will be prepared to let this tale go by.

Accents are terrible.
Nice entertaining story. Narrator’s Russian and Irish accents are brilliant. But every other accent - lesser I say the better. Not sure why almost every narrator on audible kicks up the German accent - can’t even get anywhere remotely close. Story itself is quite witty and humorous at times despite some intense moments. Overall I would recommend for a jolly ride.

A tad boring.
I was surprised by my own reaction to this book as I am a real Jeffrey Archer fan, but this is boring. Spy books should be left to John Le Carre and Frederick Forsyth etc. I did not connect to the story which is unusual for me with a Jeffrey Archer book. The narration is excellent, but otherwise I did not like it.

Good story ruined by narrator
This took s little longer to get into than the usual Archer stories; the clipped, staccato narrative made it difficult to maintain interest. This was aggravated by the numerous Slavic names, only serving to confuse the listener. That being said, the story managed to hold the imagination, despite the slightly implausible situations in true Archer style.
