In A Matter of Honour, Jeffrey Archer tells a strange tale. In 1966 a disgraced British colonelA Matter of Honor, by Jeffrey Archerp bequeaths a mysterious letter to his only son. An unemployed ex-military man inherits a sealed letter in his father’s will. It is an old letter that his father, at the insistence of his wife, had never opened.

His father’s letter to him instructed him that the letter was only to be opened if a matter of family honour came up. The item in question is worth a lot, and has far more than just monetary value.

However, when the colonel, Adam Scott, opens the yellowing envelope, he unknowingly sets in motion a very deadly chain of events that threatens to shake the foundations of the free world. Within days he is running for his life throughout Europe, pursued not only by the KGB, but by the CIA and his own countrymen as well.

A Matter of Honour is another page turner! As always, Jeffrey Archer’s plot is rich, big, stunning and surprising, but not necessarily totally believable. And the writing is dynamic and engaging. Not the best Archer, in my opinion, but still good and worthwhile. And, of course, as always with Jeffrey Archer, very, very entertaining. Well suited for a rainy fall weekend!

Order A Matter of Honour from amazon UK.
