Publisher Description
'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

Customer Reviews
Engaging
This book was expected like all the others I have read by this author to grip me from the beginning and keep me hooked throughout. It did not disappoint and even surpassed my own expectations by giving me a laugh out loud moment as well. Very difficult to put down and certainly a great reason to read more of his books.
Loved it

False Impression
Another extraordinary piece of plot spinning and story telling. Surely Jefferey Archer is the most compelling writer of fiction.
