From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Archer, the
Clifton Chronicles continues with Best Kept Secret.
1945, London. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit
the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor's
deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and
Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel,
while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found
abandoned in her father's office on the night he was killed. When the
general election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in
the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives
select to stand against him. But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and
Emma's son, who ultimately influences his uncle's fate.
In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation
of the Clifton family marches onto the page. But after Sebastian is
expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an
international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more
than the sum it raises at auction. Does he become a millionaire? Does he
go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret, the third
volume in Jeffrey Archer's bestselling series, will answer all these
questions but, once again, pose so many more.
