  • "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."@en
  • "Nowy Jork, rok 1939. Harry Clifton, podający się za Toma Bradshawa, zostaje aresztowany i oskarżony o zabójstwo brata. Przed sądem broni go ceniony adwokat Sefton Jelks, który z nie do końca jasnych powodów zaoferował mu bezpłatnie swoje usługi. Chociaż zarzut morderstwa zostaje oddalony, sędzia skazuje Harryego aż na sześć lat więzienia za dezercję. Harry mógłby dowieść, że jest niewinny, jedynie poprzez wyjawienie swojej prawdziwej tożsamości - ale przecież przysiągł sobie, że nigdy tego nie zrobi, gdyż musi chronić kobietę, którą kocha.Tymczasem Emma nie wierzy, że Harry zginął na morzu, choć jedynym przemawiającym za tym dowodem jest zapieczętowany list stojący na gzymsie kominka jego matki w Bristolu i zaadresowany jego charakterem pisma. Zdesperowana kobieta pozostawia w Anglii synka i wyrusza w podróż do Nowego Jorku z mocnym postanowieniem, że zrobi wszystko, aby odnaleźć mężczyznę, którego miała poślubić."
  • "On arrival in America, Harry Clifton is arrested for first degree murder, for killing Bill Bradshaw. He is tried, found guilty, and sentenced to death by the electric chair. Meanwhile Emma goes to London to give birth to Sebastian, Harry's child. On visiting Maisie to introduce her to her grandson, she becomes convinced that Harry is still alive. With the help of Sir Walter, she goes to America in search of Harry, where she must then fight to save his life. Meanwhile, when Sir Walter dies, Hugo takes over the Barrington shipping line, but manages to run the company into the ground, and when war is declared, Giles Barrington leaves Oxford to join the Gloucestershire Regiment, gaining respect and eventually glory in the military. And as the war progresses, Sebastian is brought up by his grandmother, Elizabeth Barrington. As a young man, he falls in love with the sister of a school friend, whose father is an Argentinean businessman who has made a fortune in arms dealing to both sides during the war."
  • "New York, 1939. Tom Bradshaw is arrested for first degree murder - accused of killing his brother. Top Manhattan lawyer Sefton Jelks offers his services for nothing, assuring the penniless Tom of a lighter sentence. Then, after Tom is tried, found guilty and sentenced, Jelks disappears. The only way for him to prove his innocence would be to reveal his true identity - but to protect the woman he loves he's sworn never to do that. Meanwhile, the young woman in question leaves their son behind in England and travels to New York to find the man she was to marry - unwilling to believe he'd died at sea. Her only proof is a letter that has remained unopened on a mantlepiece in Bristol for over a year..."@en
