As he enters into adulthood, Harry finally learns how his father really died, but the awful truth only leads him to question, was he even his father?

The conned: an Oxford don, a revered society physician, a chic French art dealer, and a charming English lord. They have one thing in common. Overnight, each novice investor lost his life’s fortune to one man. The con: Harvey Metcalfe. A brilliant, self-made guru of deceit. A very dangerous individual. And now, a hunted man.
With nothing left to lose four strangers are about to come together-each expert in their own field. Their plan: find Harvey, shadow him, trap him, and penny-for-penny, destroy him. From the luxurious casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot to the bustling streets of Wall Street to fashionable London galleries, their own ingenious game has begun. It’s called revenge-and they were taught by a master
If Danny Cartwright had proposed to Beth Wilson the day before, or the day after, he would not have been arrested and charged with the murder of his best friend.
And when the four prosecution witnesses are a barrister, a popular actor, an aristocrat and the youngest partner in an established firm’s history, who is going to believe his side of the story?
Danny is sentenced to twenty-two years and is sent to Belmarsh prison, the highest security jail in the land, from where no inmate has ever escaped.
But everyone has underestimated Danny’s determination to seek revenge and Beth’s relentless quest to win justice .
False Impression surrounds the story’s principal character, Anna Petrescu, who after surviving the 9/11 attacks attempts to escape from the US. Much to her dismay, she is pursued by a charlatan who works for her previous employer. The story’s plots snowballs as Anna runs from country to country, trying to escape her pursuer.
Like a true mystery, as Anna is travelling through all these different places, she encounters situations which lead her to gather different pieces of a puzzle. These pieces are clues to the puzzle that she has to unravel. The clues are puzzling, such as why would a New York banker receive a woman’s left ear in the morning newspaper and not be surprised by it, and why would someone hand over fifty million dollars to someone they had just met.
Archer pulls his readers into the plot by building a web of questions which act like puzzle pieces. It isn’t until the very end that the audience is able to put everything together and solve the mystery behind the Van Gogh painting.
