La epopeya de Harry Clifton empieza en 1920 con las escalofriantes palabras: «Me dijeron que mi padre había muerto en la guerra». Pasarán veinte años hasta que Harry descubra cómo murió de verdad su padre, aunque la verdad solo le llevará a preguntarse quién era realmente. ¿Es Harry Clifton realmente el hijo de Arthur Clifton, un estibador de los muelles de Bristol, o es el primogénito de un heredero del Oeste de Inglaterra cuya familia es dueña de la Naviera Barrington? La historia de «Solo el tiempo lo dirá» abarca desde 1920 a 1940, con un elenco de personajes memorables que The Times ha llegado a comparar con La Saga de los Forsyte de John Galsworthy. El volumen uno nos cuenta los estragos de la Gran Guerra y el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, momento en el que Harry debe decidir si asentarse en Oxford o unirse a la marina para luchar contra la Alemania de Hitler. Este libro nos lleva en un viaje que no queremos que acabe, aunque en sus últimas páginas nos espera un dilema que nadie, ni siquiera Harry Clifton, podría haber esperado.

It's 1945. 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 march onto the page. 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 will answer all these questions, but once again, pose so many more.

The latest psychological thriller from the author of The Suspect and Shatter, which Stephen King called 'the most suspenseful book I read all year'.

This is the story of a man who loved two women, and one of them killed him. Some people have dreams that are so outrageous that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Christopher Columbus, Isaac Newton, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Eddison, Nancy Astor, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hilary and Neil Armstrong are among such individuals. But what if one man had such a dream, and when he’d achieved it, there was no proof that he had fulfilled his ambition? Paths of Glory, is the story of such a man. But not until you’ve turned the last page of this extraordinary novel, will you be able to decide if George Mallory should be added to this list of legends, because if he were, another name would have to be removed.
