In the third installment of the Clifton Chronicles, set in 1945, the House of Lords faces a tie over the inheritance of the Barrington family fortune. The Lord Chancellor's deciding vote significantly impacts Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. While Harry promotes his latest novel in America, Emma searches for a little girl abandoned in her father's office on the night of his murder. As the General Election approaches, Giles is shocked by the Conservative candidate chosen to oppose him. Ultimately, it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma's son, who affects his uncle's future. By 1957, Sebastian earns a scholarship to Cambridge, introducing a new generation of the Clifton family. However, after being expelled from school, he becomes embroiled in an international art fraud involving a valuable Rodin statue. The story raises questions about Sebastian's future: Will he become a millionaire? Will he attend Cambridge? Is his life at risk? This installment promises answers while presenting new mysteries to unravel.

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.

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. Francis Drake, Robert Scott, Percy Fawcett, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hillary 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."--Jacket
