Jeffrey Archer | A Matter of Honour
A Matter of Honour by Jeffrey Archer is a fast-paced international thriller in which a mysterious inheritance draws an ordinary man into a deadly contest involving espionage, political power and a secret capable of changing history.
In 1966, Adam Scott attends the reading of his disgraced father's will, expecting to inherit almost nothing. Instead, the Colonel has left behind an unopened letter. Against his mother's wishes, Adam reads it and discovers instructions that lead towards a safe-deposit box in Switzerland and a priceless Russian icon. What begins as a personal quest to understand his father's past rapidly becomes a lethal pursuit as powerful forces compete to uncover the icon's extraordinary secret. Crossing borders and combining Cold War intrigue with family honour and historical mystery, A Matter of Honour showcases Archer's talent for propulsive, high-stakes storytelling.
