False Impression,,

I am a great admirer of Jeffrey Archer. I have read number of novels written by him. 'Not a penny more, not a penny less', 'Kane and Abel', 'Prodigal daughter' and 'False impression' to name a few. In my opinion 'Not a penny more, not a penny less' is one of his finest piece of work. I like this novel so much that I have read it twice. Whole plot of this novel revolves around 4-5 persons who try to take back their money by a person who cheated them all.

Latest novel I have read is 'false Impression'. This is based on a murder of Victoria Wentworth, owner of Van Gogh painting. She is heir of an estate and debt of her father. Her father had taken some loan from Fenston Bank. Father dies leaving all his debt on Victoria. Unable to return money Fenston decides to acquire the Van Gogh painting. But suddenly she is killed. Police starts investigation.

Now several incidents are happening around. Anna, working in Fenston's office in WTC tower was sacked on 11th sept because she had suggested a way to Victoria to save her estate. Anna somehow managed to escape from 9/11 twin tower collapse.

Anna wanted to help Victoria in saving her estate and Van Gogh painting. She decided not to allow Fenston to succeed in his ill will. She had got a Japanese buyer, Nakamura to buy Van Gogh at 50 million dollars. This will pay down her debt and interest. By the time she contacts Victoria, Van Gogh had been dispatched from Wentworth to its destination, Fenston Bank. She some how managed to get hold of it and take it to Japan via her home land where she meets her friend. Hes friend is a good painter. He paints another replica of Van Gogh. Anna was being chased by two stalkers, a police man and an athlete turned to a killer. She manages to escape from all the adversities and returns original Van Gogh in it's owner's hands.

Novel ends with disclosure of the whole mystery of murder of Victoria.

Currently I am reading another novel of Jeffrey Archer, 'First Among Equals'.
