Jamwal and Nisha fall in love while waiting for a traffic light to turn green in Delhi... thus begins one of the 15 short stories Jeffrey Archer has gathered from around the globe during the past five years in this, his sixth collection, of enthralling short stories. From Germany comes A Good Eye, the tale of a priceless oil painting that has remained in the same family for over 200 years, until... To the Channel Islands, and Members Only, where a golf ball falls out of a Christmas cracker and a young man’s life will never be the same again...

Others will bring you to tears. And once again, every one of them will keep you spellbound.
