New books are now available from bestselling authors Jeffrey Archer and James Patterson.
Only Time Will Tell, by Jeffrey Archer, is the first book in the Clifton Chronicles series. The tale of Harry Clifton's life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, 'I was told that my father was killed in the war'. But it will be another 20 years before Harry discovers how his father really died and who he was. Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who worked in Bristol docks or the first born son of a pillar of West Country society whose family owns a shipping line? The book covers the years from 1920 to 1940 and begins with ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of World War II when Harry must decide whether to take up a place at Oxford or join the navy and go to war with Germany.
Kill Me If you Can, by James Patterson, introduces us to Matthew Bannon, a poor art student living in New York City. Matthew finds a duffel bag filled with diamonds during an attack at Grand Central Station. Plans for a worry-free life with his girlfriend Katherine fill his thoughts until he realizes that he is being hunted. Whoever is after him won't stop until they have reclaimed the diamonds and exacted their revenge. Trailing him is the Ghost, the world's greatest assassin, who just killed Walter Zelvas, a top member of the international Diamond Syndicate. There's only one problem: the diamonds he was supposed to retrieve from Zelvas are missing. Even though the Ghost is on Matthew's trali so is a rival assassin.
