From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Archer, the Clifton Chronicles continues with Best Kept Secret. 1945, London. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor's deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel, while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father's office on the night he was killed. When the general election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him. But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma's son, who ultimately influences his uncle's fate. In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family marches onto the page. But after Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction. Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret, the third volume in Jeffrey Archer's bestselling series, will answer all these questions but, once again, pose so many more.

Description du livre
Londres, 1945. Qui héritera de la fortune de Hugo Barrington ? Sir Giles Barrington, son fils légitime, ou Harry Clifton, probable bâtard né juste avant Giles, déjà père de l'enfant d'Emma Barrington ? Une décision qui va déterminer les destins de cette génération de façon irréversible... Tandis que Harry retourne aux États-Unis pour promouvoir son dernier best-seller, Giles se retrouve pris au piège de haines de longue date dans sa lutte pour le pouvoir à Londres. Mais c'est Sebastian, représentant de la nouvelle génération des Clifton, le fils de Harry et d'Emma, qui va finalement faire basculer la carrière politique de son oncle Giles une décennie plus tard. Secrets trop longtemps enfouis, vengeances longuement méditées, amours enfin possibles ou alliances intéressées, une saga époustouflante portée par des personnages inoubliables.
