When Ross Buchanan is forced to resign as chairman of the Barrington Shipping Company, Emma Clifton wants to replace him. But Don Pedro Martinez intends to install his puppet, the egregious Major Alex Fisher, to destroy the Barrington family firm just as the company plans to build its new luxury liner, the MV Buckingham.

Back in London, Harry and Emma's adopted daughter wins a scholarship to the Slade Academy of Art where she falls in love with a fellow student, Clive Bingham, who asks her to marry him.

Both families are delighted until Priscilla Bingham, Jessica's future mother-in-law, has a visit from an old friend, Lady Virginia Fenwick, who drops her particular brand of poison into the wedding chalice. Then, without warning, Cedric Hardcastle, a bluff Yorkshireman who no one has come across before, takes his place on the board of Barrington.

This causes an upheaval that none of them could have anticipated and will change the lives of every member of the Clifton and Barrington families. Hardcastle's first decision is who to support to become the next chairman of the board: Emma Clifton or Major Alex Fisher? And with that decision, the story takes yet another twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

About the Author:

Jeffrey Archer doesn’t just write twists—he lives them. From politics to prison to publishing stardom, his life story reads like... well, one of his own bestsellers! Born in London in 1940, Jeffrey went from Olympic hopeful to Member of Parliament to one of the world’s top-selling authors—with a few jaw-dropping plot turns in between.

Known for his razor-sharp storytelling and cliffhangers that refuse to let you sleep, Jeffrey Archer has written everything from the epic Clifton Chronicles saga to one-off thrillers like Kane and Abel (a total page-turning classic). His characters are clever, bold, and usually juggling power, secrets, and just a bit of betrayal.

But don’t let the suits and politics fool you—Archer’s real superpower is storytelling that grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go. Whether he’s writing about business battles, courtroom drama, or backroom deals, his books are fast-paced, fabulously detailed, and full of those “wait—what just happened?!” moments we live for.

If you're after gripping drama, smart plots, and characters you’ll love (or love to hate), Jeffrey Archer delivers every single time.
