On the run from a terrible family secret, Harry Clifton joins the Merchant Navy on the eve of WWII and must escape both the consequences of assuming another soldier’s identity and the horrors of war.
Arriving in New York under a new name, Harry is arrested for a crime he didn’t commit and sentenced to years in prison. When a top Manhattan lawyer offers to help – for reasons of his own – penniless Harry has little choice but to accept.
Book two of Jeffrey Archer’s epic Clifton Chronicles, following the Barrington and Clifton families through fate, fortune, and the long shadow of a father’s sins.
