Bestseller Archer put his time in prison to fine literary use, as evidenced by the 12 stellar entries in his fifth story collection... The economy and precision of Archer's prose never fail to delight. The criminal doesn't always get away with his crime and justice doesn't always prevail, but the reader wins with each and every story.
While incarcerated for two years in five different prisons, Jeffrey Archer picked up several ideas for short stories. They range from a tale of "The Man Who Robbed His Own Post Office" to the story of a company chairman who tried to poison his wife while on a trip to St Petersburg - both with unexpected consequences. In another, "Maestro", am Italian restaurateur ends up in jail, unable to explain to the tax man how he can own a yacht, a Ferrari and a home in Florence, while only declaring a profit of 70,000 pounds a year.
I enjoyed reading these short stories.
Das war das Buch, das mir sofort in den Sinn kam, als ich die Januarbegriffe der Assoziationschallenge las. Bei dem Begriff "Angora" hatte ich direkt "Katzen" im Kopf und bei "beweisen" fiel mir als erstes Jeffrey Archer als Autor ein, der bewiesen hat, dass selbst ein Gefängnisaufenthalt eine erfolgreiche literarische Karriere nicht zurückwerfen kann, sondern sogar noch Stoff für neue Bücher liefert.
