Honour Among Thieves by author Jeffrey Archer

Book :  Honour Among Thieves
Author: Jeffrey Archer
Publisher: Harper Collins (www.harpercollins.co.in.)
ISBN:  0 00 0647606 6

 Jeffrey Archer is one author who thebooksurgeon.blogspot.in respects a lot. Awesome writing, brilliant plotting, ver sharp character delineation and a taut storyline. My favorite books of Jrffery Archer are "Not a penny more,  not a penny less" and  "First among Equals" and his Short stories.

The time is 1993. The President of USA, Bush, has been replaced. Margaret Thatcher has been ousted by her party.  Gorbachev has been toppled by unknown forces. And the sole opposition survivor of the Gulf War is Saddam Hussein. And Saddam is plannning a retaliation so severe that USA will have to retaliate.

 Caught amidst this is Scott Bradley, a young Professor at Yale Law School. Scott is sent by CIA to discover why a beautifil Mossad agent has been dropped into the Iraqi Interest Section of the Jordanian Embassy in Paris..

 And unexpectedly Sadams plot begins to unravel. An intriguing novel. A must read, as is any Jeffrey Archer novel.
