This book continues where Only Time Will Tell left off. It is the second book in the Clifton Chronicles and begins with Harry Clifton taking the name of an American officer after his merchant ship was sunk by the Germans. Unfortunately, for Harry, the fellow whose name he took was wanted for murder and Harry ends up in prison.

Meanwhile the mother of his child, Emma, doesn’t believe he is dead and travels to America to find out the truth. This is all happening during the time just before American enters WWII.

Jeffery Archer has created a set of characters interwoven with history and stimulating plotlines that I won’t be able to resist the next installment of this saga.
