    About this ebook

    The bestselling author of Kane & Abel, The Prodigal Daughter and Honor Among Thieves once again astonishes, delights, and electrifies his legions of fans.

    Ordinary heroes, extraordinary deeds

    From London to China, and New York to Nigeria, Jeffrey Archer takes the reader on a tour of ancient heirlooms and modern romance, of cutthroat business and kindly strangers, of lives lived in the realms of power and lives freed from the gloom of oppression. Fortunes are made and squandered, honor betrayed and redeemed, and love lost and rediscovered.

    Embracing the passions that drive men and women to love and to hate, the short stories in A Quiver Full of Arrows will captivate the hearts and souls of readers of everywhere.

      Hankering After Ghosts

      Dec 1, 2022

      It’s been 10 years since the publication of my book A Natural History of Ghosts (see FT296:42-45). I probably should have written more in it about the writer Charles Dickens. The truth is I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Dickens. I rea

      Stories in this collection The Chinese Statue The Luncheon The Coup The First Miracle The Perfect Gentleman One-Night Stand The Century Broken Routine Henry's Hiccup A Matter of Principle The Hungarian Professor Old LoveFollowers of my blog will have noticed a penchant for Jeffrey Archer short stories just recently.That is simply because they are so good. Sometimes mystery, sometimes just simply quirky, all with marvellously drawn characters.In this collection Archer says that 11 of the stories are based on known incidents and only one is totally the result of his own imagination. Each of them is 20-30 pages long. Just right for a bit of night time distraction.My calculation now is that I have read at least 60 short stories by Archer and he really is the master.

      The short stories in this collection are all well-written - they each tell an interesting story with just the right amount of detail and no loose ends. The other fun thing about this collection is that each story has an unexpected or unlooked for ending. Probably my favorite stories would be "The Coup" and "Old Love" - though I didn't like the ending to that one much. I also enjoyed "The Perfect Gentleman".
