Jeffrey Archer | Best Kept Secret
Best Kept Secret is the third instalment in Jeffrey Archer's bestselling Clifton Chronicles, continuing the intertwined fortunes of the Clifton and Barrington families. In 1945, a tied vote in the House of Lords leaves the Lord Chancellor to decide who will inherit the Barrington family fortune – a decision destined to cast a long shadow over Harry Clifton, Giles Barrington and those closest to them. Meanwhile, Emma sets out to discover the truth about the young girl found abandoned in her father's office on the night he died.
By 1957, a new generation begins to take centre stage. Harry and Emma's son, Sebastian Clifton, wins a scholarship to Cambridge, but his future is thrown into jeopardy when he becomes unwittingly involved in an international art fraud surrounding a valuable Rodin sculpture. Combining family rivalry, politics, ambition, betrayal and suspense, Best Kept Secret expands Archer's sweeping saga while setting the stage for the next chapter in the Clifton family's extraordinary story.
