Book Review: A Matter of Honour by Jeffrey Archer

Written by Jeffrey Archer and published in 1986 a disgraced British Army Colonel leaves a letter to his only son. However, the letter proves to be a Pandora's box. As soon as he has opened the letter he sets in motion events that will haunt him and many others. Soon he is pursued across Europe by the KGB and the CIA.

Shady characters endeavour to track Adam Scott down, and Adam appears to have no friends to help or protect him.

The novel leads us into the world of the Nazis of the Second World War and Adam is connected to this through his father and his time as a prison guard to Hermann Goring. Adam Scott becomes the possessor of a Russian icon that contains a lease for the USA to hold Alaska for 99 years and not a sale as was originally thought. The Russians are intent on getting the lease before the deadline expires on it in a few days.

A journey back in time and a chase to keep you enthralled from beginning to end.

8/10 for me for this book.
