Book Review: Honour Among Thieves by Jeffrey Archer




The action takes place in 1993 after the First Gulf War with Saddam Hussein planning his revenge on the United States by stealing the American Declaration of Independence and his plans to burn this on the 4th of July. Hussein gets his United Nations Deputy Ambassador to seek the help of a mafia lawyer.

However, Saddam Hussein is being tracked by a young beautiful female Mossad agent called Hannah Kopec with a personal vendetta with plans to kill him.

When the USA discovers that the Declaration of Independence has been changed for a forgery, Scott Bradley who is a Yale law professor tracks Kopec to Paris and he begins to work with her to recover the document before the 4th of July.

An engrossing read that stretches you across continents but you have to suspend your knowledge of history a little in places.
7/10 for me for this one.
