The Sins of the Father - Jeffrey Archer
The master storyteller continues the Clifton saga with this, the second novel
New York, 1939. Tom Bradshaw is arrested for first degree murder. He
stands accused of killing his brother. When Sefton Jelks, a top
Manhattan lawyer, offers his services for nothing, penniless Tom has
little choice but to accept his assurance of a lighter sentence. After
Tom is tried, found guilty and sentenced, Jelks disappears, and the only
way for him to prove his innocence would be to reveal his true identity
- something that he has sworn never to do in order to protect the woman
he loves.
Meanwhile, the young woman in question travels to New
York, leaving their son behind in England, having decided she'll do
whatever it takes to find the man she was to marry - unwilling to
believe that he died at sea. The only proof she has is a letter. A
letter that has remained unopened on a mantelpiece in Bristol for over a
year.
In Jeffrey Archer's epic novel, family loyalties are
stretched to their limits as secrets unravel, and the story moves from
the backstreets of Bristol to the boardrooms of Manhattan. Join the
great storyteller on a journey where there are no stop signs, no
cul-de-sacs and no dead ends.
