Über diesen Titel
'Probably the greatest storyteller of our age' – The Mail on Sunday
Would you risk your life for a painting? Globe-spanning and truly page-turning, False Impression is a compulsive thriller from Jeffrey Archer, bestselling author of The Clifton Chronicles and the William Warwick novels.
The night before the attacks of 9/11, an older, aristocratic woman is brutally murdered in her country home. It takes all the resources of both the FBI and Interpol to deduce the motive for her death: a priceless Van Gogh painting. It takes a courageous, determined young woman – who was in the North Tower as the first plane crashed – to take on both sides of the law and avenge the woman's death.
After 9/11, Anna Petrescu is missing, presumed dead. But she is alive, and uses her new status to escape from America – only to be pursued across the world, from Toronto to London, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Bucharest. But it is only upon her return to New York that the mystery unfolds . . .
Why are so many people willing to risk their own lives and others to own the Van Gogh ‘Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear’?
'If there were a Nobel Prize for storytelling, Archer would win' – The Daily Telegraph
Anna Petrescu, a brilliant PhD art expert, who works for a rich but shady banker starts to doubt the legality or ethics of her employer’s business practices. When an aristocratic old lady in Great Britain is in danger to lose her estate, including a valuable art collection, she sets out on a mission to put things right again. She is unaware of an ongoing FBI investigation and her actions put her under suspicion and make her look like an accomplice.
It is a fast moving story, covering events in the USA, Great Britain, Romania and Japan and including crimes of all types, murder, fraud, money laundering etc. Regardless of all that, the story appears construed and predictable, the characters are black and white and the romantic ending reminds you of pulp fiction.
Some listeners were unhappy with Lorelei King's Performance. I cannot agree with that, she actually made me finish the story.
