When an aristocratic old lady is brutally murdered in her
English country home on the night before September 11,
2001, it will take all the resources of the FBI and
Interpol to work out the connection between her death and a
priceless Van Gogh, which is stolen that night.
But in the end, it is a courageous young woman who escapes
from North Tower of the World Trade Center after the first
plane crashes into the building, who has the foresight and
determination to take on both sides of the law and avenge
the old lady’s death.
The young woman, Anna Petrescu, takes advantage of being
missing and presumed dead in the days after 9/11 to escape
from New York City, only to be pursued by both the FBI and
a ruthless assassin across the globe, from Toronto to
London, to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bucharest. But it is only
when she finally returns to New York that the mystery
unravels.
In his first thriller since The Eleventh Commandment,
international bestselling author Jeffrey Archer takes the
reader on a breathtaking journey, full of twists and turns,
all leading back to the question of why so many people are
willing to risk their lives to own Van Gogh’s Self Portrait
with Bandaged Ear. And it’s not just because it could be
worth one hundred million dollars.
