[The Clifton Chronicles 02] • Les Fautes De Nos Pères

**

> On the heels of the international bestseller _Only Time Will Tell_ , Jeffrey

Archer picks up the sweeping story of the Clifton Chronicles.

**Only days before Britain declares war on Germany, Harry Clifton, hoping to

escape the consequences of long-buried family secrets, and forced to accept

that his desire to marry Emma Barrington will never be fulfilled, has joined

the Merchant Navy.

But his ship is sunk in the Atlantic by a German U-boat, drowning almost the

entire crew.  An American cruise liner, the SS Kansas Star, rescues a handful

of sailors, among them Harry and the third officer, an American named Tom

Bradshaw.  When Bradshaw dies in the night, Harry seizes on the chance to

escape his tangled past and assumes his identity.

But on landing in America, he quickly learns the mistake he has made, when he

discovers what is awaiting Bradshaw in New York.  Without any way of proving

his true identity, Harry Clifton is now chained to a past that could be far

worse than the one he had hoped to escape.
