The Prisoner of Archer

Jeffrey Archer in our city’s Landmark! No news could be better for his fans(like me).One of the best known story teller of our times. One of my favorite! I was first introduced to his novel “Sons of Fortune” by my cousin and was impressed a lot. I started to read a lot of his works. His first novel “Not a penny more, Not a Penny less “made me to like him more. I have read 9 of his 13 novels and few of the short stories. Just can’t wait to get my hands on “The Prisoner of Birth”.
