These yarns are ingeniously  plotted, with richly drawn characters and deliciously unexpected  conclusions, and with the added bonus of illustrations by the  internationally acclaimed artist, Ronald Sealer. While incarcerated for  two years in five different prisons. Jeffrey Archer picked up several  ideas for short stories. They range from a tale of The Man Who Robbed  His Own Post Office to the story of a company chairman who tried to  poison his wife while on a trip to St Petersburg - both with unexpected  consequences. In another , Maestro, an Italian restaurateur ends up in  jail, unable to explain to the tax man how he can afford a yacht, a  Ferrari and a home in Florence, While only declaring a profit of 1000000  pounds a year. The Red King is a tale about a con man who discovers  that an English Lord requires one more chess piece to complete a set  that would be worth a fortune. In another tale of deception, The  Commissioner, a Bombay con artist ends up in the morgue after he uses  the police chief as bait in his latest scam. The Alibi reveals how a  convict manages to remove an old enemy while he`s locked up in jail, and  then set up two prison officers as his alibi. In contrast is the  accountant, who, in Charity Begins at Home, realizes he has achieved  nothing in his life and sets out to make a fortune before he retires.  And then there is Archer`s favorite, which he came across after leaving  prison, In the Eye of the Beholder, where a handsome premier division  footballer falls in love with a twenty-stone woman...who just happens to  be the ninth richest woman in Itali. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788184980653\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.5 Inches, Length: 5.5 Inches, Weight: 0.661386786 Pounds, Width: 0.52 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e mr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archer,Jeffrey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67620010033459,"sku":"9788184980653","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/6905953485102.jpg?v=1791322547","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/cat-o-nine-tales","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
