New York Times #1 bestselling author Jeffrey Archer, a master of the shortstory form, joins forces with renowned illustrator Paul Cox to reimagine twenty of his most popular and fted short stories alongside beautifully rendered watercolor illustrations in The Short, The Long and the Tall.Find out what happens to the hapless young detective from Naples who travels to an Italian hillside town to solve a murder and ends up falling in love; and the pretentious schoolboy whose discovery of the origins of his fathers wealth changes his life forever. Revel in the stories of the woman who dares to challenge the men at her Ivy League university during the 1930s, and another young woman who thumbs a lift and has an encounter she will never forget. Discover the haunting story about four men whose characters are tested to the point of death. Finally, a short parable about how pointless war is, and how decent people are caught up in the crossfire of their leaders ambitions.This will be a mustbuy for dedicated fans of the work of both author and illustrator, and includes the following short stories:Never Stop on the MotorwayCheap at Half the PriceWho Killed the Mayor?It Cant be October AlreadyStuck on YouThe Grass is Always GreenerThe Queens Birthday TelegramClean Sweep IgnatiusThe First MiracleCaste OffA Wasted HourJust Good FriendsChristina RosenthalA Gentleman and a ScholarThe Road to DamascusOld LoveA Good Toss to LoseOne Mans MeatEndgameConfession
