Things A Are Never Quite What They SeemJeffrey Archer， the internationally bestselling author of Honor Among Thieves， As The Crow Flies， and Kane & Abel， now serves up this inventive new collection of a dozen short stories -- with a twist. Cleverly styled， with richly drawn characters and ingeniously plotted story lines， each of the twelve pieces ends with a delightfully unexpected turn of events.An imprisoned man is certain that his supposed murder victim is very much alive....A female driver is pursued relentlessly by a menacing figure in another vehicle....A young artist gets the biggest break of her career....A restless beauty manages the perfect birthday celebration....An escaped Iraqi on Saddam Hussein s death list pays an involuntary visit to his homeland. In each tale， human beings are given an opportunity to seize， a crucial problem to solve， or a danger to avoid. How will they react? How would you? Capping off the collection are two additional rewards. In the final story， Archer offers a choice of four endings. And buried in each story is another diversion -- a red herring which Archer challenges his readers to uncover. Twelve is a perfect score -- good luck，
